Show overview
Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard has been publishing since 2018, and across the 8 years since has built a catalogue of 1,063 episodes, alongside 5 trailers or bonus episodes. That works out to over 1700 hours of audio in total. Releases follow a several-times-a-week cadence.
Episodes typically run over ninety minutes — most land between 1h 16m and 2h — though episode length varies meaningfully from one episode to the next. The publisher flags most episodes as explicit, so expect adult themes or strong language throughout. It is catalogued as a EN-language Comedy show.
The show is actively publishing — the most recent episode landed earlier today, with 77 episodes already out so far this year. The busiest year was 2025, with 167 episodes published. Published by Armchair Expert | Wondery.
From the publisher
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.
