Armchair Expert is a weekly podcast hosted by American actors Dax Shepard and Monica Padman.

[4][5] Armchair Expert was launched "on a lark" after Shepard had positive experiences as a guest on other podcasts, appreciating the length of time the format allowed compared to the typical brief segment on a talk show.

[9] On May 12, 2021, Armchair Expert announced on Instagram that the podcast would be available exclusively on Spotify beginning July 1, saying they would continue to maintain the same creative control over the show after the move.

[10] On June 18, 2021, on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Shepard and Padman revealed that former President Barack Obama would be their first guest once the podcast moves to Spotify.

Previous shows include Flightless Bird with New Zealander David Farrier and Synced with Monica Padman and Liz Plank.
