High Speed Chase w/ Shane Mauss and Sara Weinshenk

About this episode

Sara Weinshenk and Shane Mauss discuss psychedelics, mental health, and chaotic life experiences in a humorous and unpredictable conversation.

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.
