À propos de cet audio
The past few days in the world of Dax Shepard have been nothing short of eventful and biographically meaningful. The biggest recent headline is the blockbuster multi-year deal Wondery has secured for the Armchair Expert podcast. According to The Hollywood Reporter and Podnews Wondery, Amazons acclaimed podcast production arm, is now exclusively distributing and monetizing Dax’s flagship show in a deal estimated at 80 million dollars. This agreement extends far beyond just the existing Armchair Expert catalog. There are commitments for two brand-new podcasts, an annual livestream, a launch into video podcasting, and even the possibility of translated global editions. Wondery also gets first-look rights on all Dax’s podcast ideas and will create new Armchair Expert merchandise. Dax himself said in the statement that Wondery is the HBO of podcasting—a clear elevation of the Armchair Expert brand with international ambitions.
Shepard’s visibility has remained high beyond business headlines. Recent paparazzi photos, highlighted by Just Jared, show Dax out in Los Feliz, California, sporting tattoos and running gear, looking fit and relaxed on a hike with a friend. In interviews tied to that appearance, Dax addressed rumors regarding his marriage to Kristen Bell and joked about their Hollywood relationship enduring the pressures of their industry. He also commented on his support for Kristen’s on-screen chemistry with co-star Adam Brody in Nobody Wants This. Justine Lupe, Bell’s co-star, even floated Dax’s potential for a cameo or meta guest role in the show’s next season during an Emmy-week red carpet chat with People—suggesting Shepard’s pop-culture influence might soon stretch into Netflix dramedy territory.
On the personal front Dax’s 21st sobriety anniversary just celebrated earlier this month made real waves on social media. Kristen Bell’s Instagram tribute went viral, featuring family photos and heartfelt captions, with Kristin calling their lives together a product of his recovery journey. Dax’s humorous public reply—about being made to cry when he can’t drink by Bell’s love attack—spread widely and fueled a public conversation about resilience and partnership.
Professionally, new episodes of Armchair Expert continue to trend well on platforms like Wondery and iHeart, including a much-talked about episode with Kristen Bell and Justine Lupe that recently aired. Gossip columns and the entertainment trades both note that their candid on-air discussions of marriage, Hollywood, and even Bell’s tongue-in-cheek comments about “wishing she had butterflied around more” before settling down with Dax, made for rich social media fodder and dominated podcast-related entertainment chatter all week.
There are no public controversies or negative headlines attached to Dax Shepard currently. No new acting projects or movie releases have been announced in the Netflix slate for October. If the past few days are any indication, Dax Shepard stands at the intersection of Hollywood authenticity, new media power moves, and ongoing personal growth—with every milestone keeping him at the center of pop culture’s conversation.
