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.

Wondery Presents: Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky

You’ve heard her name in headlines, during trivia nights, as a punchline: Monica Lewinsky. She’s been a major reference in pop culture since she was 24 years old when a scandal made her a household name overnight. Since then, she’s fought to redefine her reputation - and now she's ready to use her experience to encourage others to take back their power, too. On her new podcast "Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky," Monica leads honest and wide-ranging conversations about what it means to write your own narrative. Each week, guests like Olivia Munn and Alan Cumming share how they've rediscovered purpose, rebuilt relationships, and redefined success after their most vulnerable moments. Watch Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky on YouTube or listen wherever you get your podcasts: Wondery.fm/ReclaimingWithMonicaLewinsky.

TRUE CRIME
You know those messages that you get all the time, the ones that pop up out of nowhere? They could be real, but something about them seems fishy. You likely dismiss these texts and emails as mere annoyances, thinking you’ve stopped some random stranger from ripping you off. But the shocking truth is, the person behind that message might be trapped inside a “scam factory” on the other side of the world and forced to scam others against their will. From Wondery, comes a new series about the brutal reality behind these operations, where one family discovers a horrifying truth: the only way out is to scam their way out.

TRUE CRIME
If you’re interested in unexpected conversations that go uncharted places, are remotely self-aware and like to laugh, then please join me as I continue to find my public voice on Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky. (That’s me.) I will have honest, wide-ranging interviews with all kinds of people – recognizable names, regular folks, experts and friends – about what it means to reclaim what’s been lost or taken in the broadest sense. Every week, I’ll draw from my own unique experiences (like say, surviving a global scandal at 24 years old), and delve into the personal and often messy ways people find their way back to themselves. And because I love a good tangent, we’ll probably also touch on other stuff, too. Follow Reclaiming on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Just listened to the episode with Paul Giamatti and wondered why the continuity and flow was so good. It didn’t take long to figure it out: there were no Monica interruptions, interjections, tsk tsk judgements, projections, fake laughter, talk about superficial luxury items, patronizing, or corrections. The Dax/Kristen pity party for her needs to be over. Show her the door! Let’s face the music!
Muzzle Monica! 👋🚪

Smart palate

THE WORST! I’m herby renaming Monica “THE DISRUPTER”. This girl managed to RUINS every interview. I long for the days when she was humble and let Dax do the talking. The irritating & thoughtless, interjections are endless so disruptive. Ultimately making it impossible for a meaningful connection or flow to come to fruition between Dax, & guest. Walton Higgins being a perfect example… The latest victim to Monica’s needless insertions. Her sole purpose is to remind everyone that she’s there and relevant. Ironically, every time she speaks it only proves the contrary. A/E has become a tough listen for me. Dax & Kristen see Monica through rose colored glasses. Despite what they think, She’s not exceptional in any way.. Inbfact the bits she wrote for K Bell at the SAG awards fell so flat. Shes not a rare talent. Perhaps Wondery can consider the plethora of negative Monica reviews act accordingly. She adds nothing and only detracts from the quality, depth and intellect from the show. Monica has 2 settings… 1. Spoiled, infantilized, Temper tantrum throwing child, when she doesn’t get her way. 2. Nasty, combative, angry, all knowing, entitled, girl who wants to be the boss of all and idolized by everyone. Sadly neither are palatable or digestible. She won the Dax lottery and has been riding that wave, in her first class seat for 7 years and hasn’t displayed an ounce gratitude or humility, only entitlement. No bueno. MONICA BYE 👋

The editing feels rushed. Incredible content. Hard to fully enjoy.
