Arm Cherry For Life: A Deep Dive into Human Messiness

In a world saturated with perfectly curated storylines and polished PR interviews, finding something truly authentic is rare.  Armchair Expert, a podcast hosted by Dax Shepard and Moncia Padman, is a breath of fresh air.  Since it's launch in 2018, this show was not only my introduction to podcasts, but has gradually become part of my everyday life. In fact, I look forward to each new episode with anticipation like I would a new movie or tv show.  The interviews are raw, honest, and cover topics often left untouched, giving the audience a sense of commonality with otherwise unattainable guests. The two hosts offer a therapeutic-like space for celebrities, experts, and even regular, everyday people to come on one of their three shows a week, to share struggles failures and insecurities. 

As a devoted "Armcherry" ( a name reserved for us true fans),  I appreciate that the show is built on personal growth and continues to be a source of inspiration to it's listeners. Dax has been open about his struggles with sobriety and Monica has talked in great detail about how his struggles have affected their personal and professional relationship.  After each episode, I always leave feeling like I learned something new about an obcsure subject, life, and relationships, all while laughing out loud in my car at their infectious banter. To me and the armchair community, the show is more about entertainment, it is a comforting and insightful escape that celebrates our messy reality.
