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. Follow Scam Factory on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts. You can binge the entire series ad-free on Wondery+. Join Wondery+ in the Wondery App, Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

SPORTS
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.

My ultimate fave.

Dax, I have loved you forever. Parenthood made me love you more, but this podcast is exceptionally good. I started a new job where ear buds are allowed and I can’t get enough. I loved Bateman, also my favorite guy ever. I loved the episode with RDJ, but today I listened to your mom. Probably my favorite and so relatable. She’s a GOAT and I love her. Thanks for being you and doing this podcast.
Horrible editing

Ginjaswagger

The editing and removal of even a millisecond of a pause makes this podcast almost impossible to listen to. And I’m something that usually listens at 1.5 speed. I hope they change whatever they are doing
Love Dax, really not a fan of Monica

Dax is a great interviewer and I learn a lot by listening to the expert episodes. Podcast would be perfect but…Monica is whiny and always complaining about something. Not sure why she got this gig. It’s really hard to listen when she speaks.
Generally fun, Monica is annoying

Generally fun insightful interviews with wide ranging guests. Monica can be incredibly annoying showing elitism when she puts on her political superiority cape and starts talking about how disenfranchised people are fools who don’t know what is good for them- but don’t worry SHE DOES. This mentality is gross and she really shows herself sometimes. TDS for sure. No one who vote for Trump is crying about it 1 month later. If you think that you are living in an echo chamber of your own opinion.
