Welcome to Coastal Idiots, the hilariously unfiltered podcast hosted by comedians Shane Torres and Katherine Blanford, two stand-ups from opposite shores with equally chaotic brains.
Each week, Shane—Portland’s grumpy sweetheart—and Katherine—the South’s sunniest menace—dive into the absurdities of everyday life, bad decisions, and the strange creatures that inhabit both coasts (and comedy clubs).
From half-baked theories about dating, travel, and pop culture to confessions about their worst gigs and weirdest habits, Coastal Idiots is a raw, charmingly dumb, and deeply relatable conversation between two friends who shouldn’t be trusted with microphones—but somehow make it work. Whether they’re dissecting viral internet drama, roasting each other’s questionable life choices, or inviting fellow comics to join in the idiocy, every episode is packed with quick wit, honest banter, and the kind of chemistry only true comedic opposites can create.
If you’ve ever felt like the smartest dumb person in the room, Coastal Idiots is your new happy place.
Pull up a beach chair, crack open a drink, and let Shane and Katherine remind you that nobody really has it figured out—and that’s exactly what makes life funny.
In this episode of Coastal Idiots, Katherine and Shane’s bickering hits a breaking point, so they do the only logical thing—bring in comedian Leslie Liao to fix their relationship live on air. Armed with questionable advice and zero authority, Leslie attempts to untangle their grievances while both sides refuse to back down, and then it all devolves into non-sensical stories. What unfolds is part couples therapy, part verbal cage match, and entirely unhinged. Progress is… debatable.
