Hottest Collabs of 2027 | SHENK
Sara Weinshenk is back with another solo episode of SHENK, and this week she's trying to figure out why everyone is suddenly obsessed with pheromone maxing, Jellycats, weird sandwiches, nail polish names, and questionable internet gurus. Sara talks about losing her jewelry at the beach, men doing "female activities," discovering a suspiciously well-stocked guy's bathroom, and getting completely sucked into Hayden Panettiere's audiobook. Then things get weird with the TikTok dating trend of pheromone maxing and the idea that skipping showers somehow makes you more attractive. She also investigates Julia Roberts' bizarre favorite sandwich: peanut butter and jelly with sour cream and onion potato chips, imagines a Julia Roberts sandwich pop-up, names nail polish colors, reacts to Heidi Montag's "Matcha With You," and watches a very questionable spiritual healer named Gary Spivey. Plus: Jellycat couples, film festival people, dating, birth control, celebrity culture, Los Angeles, and Sara's ongoing realization that she may be seeing too much of herself in the people she judges. 🎙️ Subscribe for new episodes of SHENK every week. 👉 SUPPORT SARAH ON PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/saraweinshenk (Get bonus content and join the weekly live streams every Thursday at Noon PST!) 📱 FOLLOW SARA https://www.instagram.com/princessshenk/ New episodes of SHENK drop every Wednesday.

Trying to Figure Out Who the REAL Jolene Is w/ Ian Edwards | SHENK
Ian Edwards is back on SHENK with Sara Weinshenk, and things immediately go off the rails. Sara and Ian talk about dating apps, Raya, bad first dates, expensive LA hangouts, Erewhon, Soho House, and why an Amazon wish list might be a serious red flag in a man. They also investigate the concept of the "Amazon Jolene," discuss Dolly Parton and the lyrics to "Jolene" and "I Will Always Love You," and debate whether Jolene is the ultimate relationship threat. The conversation eventually moves to getting older, working out for bone density, downtown LA, jury duty, and Sara's unforgettable experience losing a kidney stone in an Uber. Ian Edwards brings his sharp observations and dry perspective back to SHENK for another episode of comedians talking about dating, LA life, aging, relationships, and whatever else comes up.

Jessimae Peluso Is Preparing for the Apocalypse | SHENK
Jessimae Peluso is back on SHENK with Sara Weinshenk, and this time they're talking about gray hairs, periods, astrology, food recalls, fishy eggs, haunted hotels, expensive travel, camping, tattoos, anxiety and preparing for the apocalypse. Sara and Jessimae get into the weird realities of getting older, why periods still feel like a monthly betrayal, and whether intuition is actually intuition or just anxiety. They also investigate the increasingly complicated world of eggs, including fishy yolks, pasture-raised chickens and Jessimae's hard-boiled egg peeling hack. Then things get appropriately unhinged: food recalls, Trader Joe's, seed collecting, growing sweet potatoes, surviving a collapse, expensive hotels, airport drinking, haunted hotels in Alaska and the strange experience of touring as a comedian. It's another episode of SHENK with Sara Weinshenk and comedian Jessimae Peluso.

Lindsay Clancy DIDN'T DO IT! | SHENK x Harper-Rose Drummond
Sara Weinshenk is back with comedian Harper-Rose Drummond for a completely unhinged episode of SHENK. Harper-Rose has stories about dating women, "soft launching monogamy," and why lesbian relationships might be more organized than straight ones.

Our Private AI Chats Are Apparently NOT Private | SHENK
Sara Weinshenk is joined by SHENK producer Lee Nason for a chaotic solo episode covering everything from energy drinks and haunted dolls to airplane dance floors, movie-theater chili, AI privacy and Sara's deeply questionable ChatGPT history. Sara and Lee react to the story of a man allegedly losing his ability to walk after years of drinking energy drinks, discover that 1970s airplanes apparently had dance floors, and debate whether a 126-year-old doll is actually haunted. They also discuss the guy who brought a crock pot of chili into an IMAX and started selling bowls during the movie. Then things get increasingly personal as Sara looks through the bizarre questions she's asked ChatGPT, including health concerns, random facts, movie runtimes and whether yellow jackets are carnivorous.

Tradwives, Bean Potions, and 20th Century Problems w/ Bianca Parato | SHENK
Welcome back to another episode of SHENK! This week, Sara Weinshenk is joined by the hilarious Bianca Parato for a deep dive into the unexpected. Bianca reveals her secret life as a "Low Key Tradwife," why she's soaking loose beans in a "bean-newsy," and her dream of transitioning from comedy to a tour bus full of cover songs. The girls get existential as they discuss the "generational pussy" divide, comparing 20th-century history to the Gen Z aesthetic, and why Sara might be sexually attracted to a cartoon cell from Osmosis Jones. Plus, we tackle processed meat anxieties, the Ryan Gosling / Mark Wahlberg Lovely Bones fat-suit controversy, and why Sara is terrified of going to Alaska.

The Kill Tony vs. Gilmore Girls Warz (ft. Maddi Mays) | SHENK
Hold onto your elf ears! This week, Sarah welcomes the hilarious Maddie Maze to the studio. Things get "steamy" early as they discuss the questionable benefits of DIY Yoni steams and the mystery of "vagina bleaching" black underwear. Sarah recounts a dark 39th birthday spent bombing for a sleepy audience, while Maddie takes us back to the "musty" halls of 2010s anime conventions and the legendary Homestuck fandom. The duo then predicts the future of combat: 1 million Mike Tysons vs. 10,000 Gorillas and the inevitable "Kill-More War" (Kill Tony fans vs. Gilmore Girls moms). Plus, Sarah explores a potential copper-haired midlife crisis and unearths an incredibly awkward throwback video of Matt Rife trying to flirt with Zendaya.

High Speed Chase w/ Shane Mauss and Sara Weinshenk
Sara Weinshenk is back with another wild episode of SHENK — and this one goes deep. Comedian and psychedelic explorer Shane Mauss joins Sara to talk about everything from tripping at Meow Wolf to the realities of mental health, psych wards, and life on the road. What starts as a conversation about comedy quickly spirals into stories about high-speed chases, van life isolation, and the unpredictable nature of psychedelics. They break down Shane's new special Trips, the challenges of talking about psychedelics online, and how algorithms can literally shut down your career overnight. Plus, things get unhinged with stories from Wi Spa, bizarre psych ward experiences, and the strange overlap between chaos and self-discovery. It's funny, dark, honest, and completely unpredictable — classic SHENK.
