Armchair Expert

Armchair Expert is a wildly popular interview podcast hosted by actor and writer Dax Shepard alongside co-host Monica Padman. Launched in 2018, the show features disarmingly honest and deeply personal long-form conversations with celebrities, academics, journalists, and thought leaders. What sets Armchair Expert apart is Dax's willingness to be vulnerable about his own struggles with addiction, relationships, and personal growth, creating an atmosphere where guests feel comfortable sharing their own messy truths. The show regularly features A-list guests from Hollywood, politics, and science, but every conversation circles back to the fundamental human experiences that connect us all — shame, ambition, love, failure, and the pursuit of meaning.
