I SHAKE MY HEAD

Lisa Gibson & Samantha Sperling

Get ready to laugh out loud with I Shake My Head, the weekly podcast where best friends Lisa Gibson and Samantha Sperling—partners in crime for over 20 years—take on life with zero filter.

From midlife curveballs and Gen X throwbacks to hot takes on pop culture and the everyday nonsense most people keep to themselves, nothing is off-limits. Lisa and Sam turn real-life frustrations, random tangents, and “wait…what were we talking about?” moments into comedy gold.

With sharp wit, unfiltered honesty, and just enough chaos to keep things interesting, these two aren’t here to solve problems—they’re here to talk about them… loudly, passionately, and often without Googling first.

Whether they’re ranting, reminiscing, or completely going off the rails, their friendship is the heart of the show—and the reason you’ll feel like you’re right there in the conversation.

Tune in to I Shake My Head for laugh-out-loud, no-holds-barred chats that prove midlife isn’t a crisis—it’s just more material.
