Therapuss with Jake Shane is a podcast hosted by American influencer Jake Shane. The video-audio podcast has weekly guest appearances[2] on Wednesdays, and occasionally a second on on other days. Jake opens the podcast alone, or sometimes with close friends to introduce each day's topic.[3]

Overview

edit

Jake originally started the podcast inspired by his Instagram story series, where he asked his followers, or he likes to call "pussies", 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[4][5], with his TikTok username being @octopusslover8.[6] Jake has his own merch line for the podcast on his website, featuring some illustrations of octopi. In the podcast, Jake shares about his struggles with OCD and anxiety[7] , his personal life, and his love of octopus.[8] Jake also explains 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, Tana Mongeau, Reneé Rapp, Ed Sheeran, and Charli XCX.

Jake recently announced the Therapuss Live tour on July 17, 2024 with tour dates in Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles[10], New York City, and Atlanta[11] in theaters and music halls.
