Its interview-format has been compared to that of [[Howard Stern]], with Dawson stating: "Howard Stern is one of my idols. I love interviewing people and getting them to talk about things they’ve never talk about." In 2015, iTunes featured the show in their "Best of 2015" podcast list. As of April 2016 it also airs on [[Fullscreen (company)|Fullscreen]] in a [[talk show]] format, with the podcast being filmed in a new studio.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://qz.com/436482/shane-dawson-the-most-popular-successful-comedian-youve-never-heard-of/|title=Shane Dawson: The most popular, successful, comedian you've never heard of}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://medium.com/mypodnotes-podcast-show-notes/best-of-2015-itunes-podcasts-list-b3cb52f7d3d1|title=Best of 2015: iTunes Podcasts|first=Danielle|last=Geva|date=December 11, 2015}}</ref>

In November 2017, it was announced that Fullscreen's streaming service, which ''Shane and Friends'' has been broadcasting on since April 2016, would be shutting down in January 2018, halting production of the podcast for the time being.

In March 2019, after controversies surrounding Dawson's remarks in certain podcast episodes, all past episodes of the podcast were deleted from both iTunes and Soundcloud, though many unofficial copies of the audio can be found online.
