Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard
A long-form interview podcast in which Dax Shepard and co-host Monica Padman speak candidly with celebrities, academics, and journalists about the messiness of being human; the show carries an explicit rating and covers the full run from 2018 to present. Profanity is frequent throughout, and recurring themes include addiction and recovery, childhood trauma, sexual history, and mental health -- handled with openness rather than shock value but undeniably adult in register.
