Podcaster Jay Shetty is launching a new online series “Dhar & Jay Show,” which will chronicle the untold stories of the world’s most followed people, including Charli and Heidi D’Amelio, Winnie Harlow, Dixie and Marc D’Amelio and Mr. Beast.
The online show, which premieres Nov. 2 and will release subsequent episodes at Wednesdays at 4 p.m. PT on YouTube, aims to share never heard before stories to uplift and inspire audiences.
Shetty will host the “Dhar & Jay Show” alongside longtime friend Dhar Mann as the pair normalize sharing mental health challenges in a format that’s family friendly, encouraging dialogue amongst teens, kids and parents.
Shetty, who also leads a health and wellness-oriented podcast called “On Purpose” and has hosted guests including Oprah, Jenifer Lopez, Kendall Jenner, Will Smith, Kobe Bryant and Alicia Keys, hopes to reach a younger audience with his new project.
“The intention behind this show is that there are so many people that we follow, we consume their content, we watch their movies, we listen to their music – but we don’t really understand their story and the human experience behind what we see on the screen,” Shetty said. “This show takes you behind the screen to understand their struggles, their stories, their journeys, their lives and what they are going through and hopefully inspire, entertain, and uplift!”
“Because 50% of all lifetime mental illness begins by age 14, and 75% by age 24, The Dhar and Jay Show is here to make it easier to open the door to talking about mental illness,” the pair added.
After authoring his first book “Think Like A Monk: Train Your Mind for Peace and Purpose Everyday” in 2020, NYT #1 best selling author will publish his second book, “8 Rules of Love,” which is available for pre-order.
Mann is a content creator who has amassed over 80 million social media followers and has been featured in the New York Times, Business Insider, Inc., Facebook and Forbes. In 2019, he founded video production company Dhar Mann Studios with the goal to create positive content for the social media generation.
“Dhar & Jay Show” will release new episodes every Wednesday beginning Nov. 2 on YouTube.
