Shane Dawson has loomed over many of our episodes, so we finally sit down and watch his content. Shane’s comedy videos propelled him to YouTube stardom, although at the expense of his and his families jobs at Jenny Craig.

We discuss Shane’s comedic style, the since-apologised for use of blackface and race humour, his collaborations and parodies of other YouTubers like FRED, and finally his move into mainstream entertainment through his directoral debut Not Cool and original music like Superluv.

We have decided to split Shane Dawson’s career over multiple episodes given how much there is to discuss. This episode roughly covers his YouTube debut through to 2013/2014.

Rewind Time is back with new episodes weekly. Thank you to everyone who has listened so far!
