Shane and Friends is an American audio-visual podcast created by YouTuber Shane Dawson, starring him and his friends (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 co-host Jessie Buttafuoco discussing events happening in popular culture, their personal lives, and those of other celebrities. They also interview various celebrities such as Jennette McCurdy, Jamie Kennedy, Eugenia Cooney, Joey Graceffa, CupcakKe, Aislinn Paul, Chris Crocker, Dita von Teese, Safiya Nygaard, and Farrah Abraham.
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.
In November 2017, it was announced that Fullscreen, the streaming network Shane and Friends has been broadcasting on since April 2016, would be shutting down in January 2018. Even though the show has been canceled on Fullscreen, Shane Dawson has assured fans that the podcast will continue, they just need to find a new network to put it on. At the moment, that network has not been yet found.
In January 2018, some episodes were deleted. Either due to a mistake or superstition (but probably superstition because Shane is known to be very superstitious), there never was an episode 13. Most of the episodes can be seen on YouTube at the unofficial Shane And Friends YouTube channel
