Therapuss with Jake Shane is a podcast hosted by American influencer Jake Shane. The video-audio podcast introduces new guests weekly.[2] on Wednesdays, and occasionally a second on Friday. Jake opens the podcast alone, or sometimes with close friends to introduce each day's topic.[3]
Overview
editJake originally started the podcast inspired by his Instagram story series, where he asked his followers, or he likes to call "pussies",[4] to submit "Tell Me What's Wrong' where he gave advice to his followers.[2] The name is a play on therapists and octopi, as he grew social media popularity partly from his octopus reviews[5][6], with his TikTok username being @octopusslover8.[7] Jake has his own merch line for the podcast on his website, featuring some illustrations of octopi. In the podcast, Jake opens up about his struggles with OCD and anxiety.[8] He shares about his personal life, and his love of octopus.[9] Jake also shares more about his mental health, and tells about recent experiences with working with it. In the podcast, Jake always is accompanied by octopus stuffed animals, like Pussandra, a Jellycat plush. Some notable guests of the podcast include Tate McRae[10], Tana Mongeau[11], Reneé Rapp[3], Ed Sheeran[12], and Charli XCX[13]. On the podcast, Jake sometimes even reads his recent poems he has written and is also creating an spoken word poetry album with Alexander 23 after they chatted about his dreams of making one.
Format
editThe podcast is inspired by a therapist session, following some stereotypes of therapists like a timer of when the session stops.[14] In the podcast, Jake opens the podcast alone, or sometimes with close friends to introduce each day's topic.[15] Jake then transitions into him with a guest, asking them what they are mad about and asks some things about their day to day life. Like his Instagram story series, Jake reads out "Tell Me What's Wrong" cards later on in the episodes. He and a guest give advice to the submitter usually in the form of a song, movie, TV show, or just general advice. Jake and his guest will chat about their what the guest is currently up to, and their recent projects if applicable.[16]
Tour
editOn March 7, 2024 Jake Shane announced the first live show of Therapuss with Jake Shane on May 1, 2024, at the Irvine Improv, a comedy club in California.[17] The show included a live version of the "Tell Me What's Wrong" submissions, in which you could scan a QR code to send a submission in which he would give advice live.[11] Jake recently announced the Therapuss Live tour on July 17, 2024 with tour dates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, New York City, and Atlanta in theaters and music halls.
