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, Shane and Katherine welcome Sarah Tiana for a full-blown Southern cousin cookout of an episode. On the menu we have Nokia drunk-driving tests, high school daycares, beauty pageants, and the kind of small-town stories that absolutely should not be true. Sarah talks growing up between Georgia and California, almost becoming a news anchor, and why her hometown still refuses to claim her as famous. Things somehow get worse when gonorrhea enters the conversation.
