Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard

I’ve been listening to the Armchair Expert podcasts since a friend sent me the excellent Maureen Dunne episode about her book, “The Neurodiversity Edge.” I’ve listened to every Maureen Dunne interview and Dax and Monica handled neurodivergence with curiosity and openness in getting the word out about a topic that is personal for me. Also, in the podcast interview with Alegra Kastens about OCD, Dax and Monica acknowledged they needed to speak to an expert after being under informed on the topic. I felt seen and educated in both episodes and want to offer my support for Monica and Dax for their advocacy and excellent podcast interviews. Highly recommended.

Ugh. Really disappointed. This has gone from my favorite show to a bee in my bonnet. I’ve been meh for awhile, and now that I know what they did to David I’ll be listening a lot less. Disappointing. Feels like they’re sell outs now

I’m sorry, but too much Monica. So often I wanted to write a review to say stop! When she high jacked the interview with Coleman Domingo that was kind of the end for me. And then she forced him to validate her need to purchase her status symbols. Then she complains that she gets bad reviews that she’s unrelatable. Of course you are. Deal. Stop complaining about it. I fast forward through so many conversations because she gets on her high horse and won’t let go. My revie is three stars because despite Monica I enjoy the show but I’ll be taking a break for a while.

Dax thank you for being so respectful of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I’m Mormon, LOVE your show and have learned so much from you and Monica. It’s always interesting to hear the information shared about the church from former members or people that are somehow adjacent to the church. Everyone has their own unique experiences and take-aways from the Mormon church but I think you’ll find that the majority of Mormons are just normal people that are doing their best to be good and kind people. I so appreciate the respect you show the church. You guys are so fun and seem to be genuinely kind and thoughtful. Thanks for all you do!
