Shane and Friends was an American audio-visual podcast created by YouTuber Shane Dawson, hosted by himself, Jessica Buttafuoco (originally his producer, Lauren Schnipper), and Drew Monson. The podcast premiered on June 5, 2013 on SoundCloud and iTunes. The show focuses on Dawson and Buttafuoco discussing events happening in popular culture, their personal lives, and those of other celebrities. They also interviewed various celebrities such as Jennette McCurdy, Jamie Kennedy, Eugenia Cooney, Joey Graceffa, CupcakKe, Aislinn Paul, Chris Crocker, Dita von Teese, Social Repose, Gabbie Hanna, Trisha Paytas, and Farrah Abraham.[1]
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 in a talk show format, with the podcast being filmed in a new studio.[2][3]
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.
