TRUE CRIME
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.

COMEDY
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. Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky premieres on 2/18. Join Wondery+ to listen early and ad-free.

Crunchy fries

One of the very few pods that solely covers what matters about basketball and avoids lazy, narrative discussions.
unpopular take here but

Spending the first 10 minutes of the podcast talking about Aaron Wiggins and the Raptors' defense is not the hilarious bit that they think it is, it's just actual poor news judgement. Crazy take here maybe but talking about stories in rough order of importance is the way every journalist/analyst in every subject ever is actually the universal standard for very good reason. I'm also a basketball nerd and interested in talking about lesser players, but there's something way to self-indulgent about the way they do this.
Great show

Love these two! I’m a basketball junkie and they keep providing knowledge that helps me to better watch both men’s and women’s basketball better.
