Hi, I’m Dax Shepard, and I love talking to people. I am endlessly fascinated by the messiness of being human, and I find people who are vulnerable and honest about their struggles and shortcomings to be incredibly sexy. I invite you to join me as I explore other people’s stories. We will celebrate, above all, the challenges and setbacks that ultimately lead to growth and betterment. What qualifies me for such an endeavor? More than a decade of sobriety, a degree in Anthropology and four years of improv training. I will attempt to discover human “truths” without any laboratory work, clinical trials or data collection. I will be, in the great tradition of 16th-century scientists, an Armchair Expert.

Customer Reviews
My favorite podcast
I listen to a few podcasts and have unfollowed various ones as I become bored of the content but Armchair expert is one I keep coming back to. The guests are great and so are the hosts.
Co Host Miss
Monica is insufferable. Had to switch off her vapid pontificating is unlistenable.
Disappointing
This was a great podcast at the beginning. But has now become a dick swinging contest - the episode with JVN was a huge miss. It was pretty grim listening. Traumatising your guest in search of clicks and frankly, attention. It was lazy.
I didn’t listen during the Spotify only years and was excited when it came back to Apple - but am so turned off by what this has become…
