Duncan Trussell Family Hour

Duncan Trussell Family Hour

A weekly salon-style supershow, where comedian Duncan Trussell and guests explore the outer reaches of the multiverse. And on April 20th 2020, the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast will be coming to Netflix in the form of "The Midnight Gospel", created by Duncan Trussell and Pendleton Ward. The adult animated Netflix series is set in a fantastical universe and will use interview clips from the podcast. read less

Our Editor's Take

The Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast has nothing to do with family listening. Instead, on each episode, comedian Duncan Trussell has an intense discussion with a different guest. Topics of conversation range from mystical to spiritual to existential. Duncan Trussell's journeys of the mind will expand the listener's perspective.

Host Duncan Trussell has become a practitioner and teacher of Tibetan Buddhism. Many guests on the podcast are spiritual teachers. And many of the in-jokes come from metaphysics. The Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast uses dharma teachings as a conversation starter. This show takes niche ideas and makes them easy to understand.

The topics get serious on the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast. Yet it is philosophical comedy at its finest. A conversational sherpa, Trussell makes profound spiritual ideas accessible. Guests on the show are as varied as the topics the show discusses. Scientists, artists, spiritual leaders, and musicians all lend their thoughts to the program.

Past guests on the show include meditation teacher Jack Kornfield. Community creator Dan Harmon has guested several times. Comedian Shane Mauss talked about his use of psychedelic drugs. Every episode is an interesting discussion, no matter who the guest is. Listeners of the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast enjoy the esoteric comedy style.

When he isn't hosting the podcast, Duncan Trussell is an actor and comedian. In addition to his own Netflix show, he starred in Joe Rogan Questions Everything. He also performs standup comedy and has several writing credits.

Following Trussell's acclaimed Netflix show, The Midnight Gospel, this podcast grew in popularity. That animated series featured clips of audio from the podcast. And it turned them into a psychedelic sci-fi adventure. Fans of the TV program will find the same captivating energy in this podcast.

Duncan Trussell's podcast is the intersection of comedy, philosophy, and spiritualism. If listeners keep an open mind, they are sure to enjoy the Duncan Trussell Family Hour.
