Camp Counselors with Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson

PodcastOne

Hey Happy Campers! Camp Counselors is a good natured podcast hosted by your favorite fake camp counselors Zachariah and Jonathan. Here at Camp Shady Birch we love the great outdoors in theory, but we’d rather spend our time making friendship bracelets, spreading camper gossip, keeping our heads in the clouds, and avoiding archery. We know we would make great camp counselors minus the fact that we know nothing about camping. So grab your sunscreen and bug spray because things are about to get campy. read less

Our Editor's Take

The Camp Counselors with Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson podcast is fast-paced, witty, and often weird. Its hosts became famous for creating funny content on the internet. Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson are social media content creators. In 2022, they decided it was time to bring their storytelling skills to the audio world of podcasts.

The series is like a summer camp podcast but with an important distinction. Zachariah and Jonathan aren't camp counselors, and Camp Shady Birch isn't a real camp. Still, they pursue their fake roles with dedication despite not knowing anything about camp life. Each podcast episode combines life updates with life advice. Their goal is to remind people how similar everyone is by sharing embarrassing tales. The hosts discuss the things that make them happy to remove the daily stress of life.

The podcast has mini "Trail Mix" episodes between main episodes lasting over an hour. In these episodes, the stories come from the "campers" themselves. There are embarrassing stories in "Confession Canoe." Listeners seek advice from their counselors in "Dear Counselors." There are also spooky tales shared, re-told as if around a campfire.

In one "Trail Mix" episode, a pregnant listener shares how she chased someone who tried to steal her car. She started her day realizing her car wasn't parked where she left it in her driveway. After questioning her "pregnancy brain," she wakes up her boyfriend. They call the police and, as they wait, decide to drive around the neighborhood to see if they can find it. She soon discovers her car and the identity of the thieves. What happens next is an entertaining action sequence.

The Camp Counselors podcast combines listener stories, celebrity news, and more. Zachariah and Jonathan invite listeners into their mythical camp for fun and gossip. With episode titles like "Julia Roberts Hexed Me (Allegedly)," listeners know they are in for a fun time. New episodes air every Wednesday.
