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.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-17T16:19:56.634074+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard-229033"},"episode":{"title":"Ike Barinholtz #4","slug":"ike-barinholtz-4","published_at":"2026-03-30T07:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard-229033/ike-barinholtz-4","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/armchair-expert-with-dax-shepard-229033","url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/e60485ae-979b-4dae-914f-2c8ec79fc201.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","audio_url":"https://rss.art19.com/episodes/e60485ae-979b-4dae-914f-2c8ec79fc201.mp3?rss_browser=BAhJIg90cmFuc2NyaWJyBjoGRVQ%3D--952c5701c84ad333c69d5faa668f8177091704f0","summary":"Ike Barinholtz (Artificial, Funny You Ask, The Studio) is an award-winning actor, writer, and comedian.
