Shannon Shaw’s lived a particularly interesting life. While the rest of the world’s been putting in time at a 9 to 5, Shannon’s been belting out songs as the lead singer of Shannon and the Clams, as well as getting kicked out of Ren Faires, dressing up in Metallica costumes, and collecting stories at her first job in a mental institution. 

I KNOW, HUH? TDW talks tattoos, the morality of dead celeb

You're the real you when no one else is watching. TDW covers people who thought no one was looking, like the black woman who called out the white guy about his dreads at SF State, the student who yelled obscenities at his Uber driver, or Otto Warmbier, the guy who tried to steal war propaganda from North Korea and is now serving 15 years hard labor. #befuckinbetter

A dame so nice, we had her on twice. Comedian Gabby Poccia joins TDW again to talk the OJ Simpson trial, notorious killers, wrestler Owen Hart, the mysterious Elisa Lam, Caitlin Jenner, April Fool’s Day pranks, and how good Hamburger Helper is at rapping.

Throw the world a big ole fist unicorn. TDW introduces Rage Yoga, the new practice of becoming zen as fuck. We talk with creator Lindsay Istace about her past as a contortionist and how she's transforming traditional yoga from 'ommm' to 'oh, fuck yeah.'  

Nobody likes going through a breakup. Comedian Gabby Poccia joins TDW for talks about past relationships, personal lessons learned, the psych of breakups, soulmates, and the actual addictive qualities of love.  

Whatever happened to reasonable expectation of privacy? TDW discusses the secret nude filming of Erin Andrews, Gawker's fight to keep Hulk Hogan's sex tape in public view, and Uber's shady behavior when it comes to disabled passengers and making a quick buck with fake vomit. 

TDW tells the tales of deaths as fascinating as they are terrifying. Actors accidentally killed on set, a girl awakening in the Odessa catacombs, subway tragedies, elevator dives, and plunges down Niagara Falls. 

To be rude or not to be rude? That is the question. Whether it’s Kesha’s battle against her producer Dr. Luke, Talia Jane’s open letter against the insubstantial wages of Yelp/Eat 24, or telling a guy if he’s being a creep, Jenn, Aya, and Christina cover it all. Here’s to another episode with These Damn Dames.

Comedian Richard Toomer talks relationships, transportation/urination stories, stand up, SF Sketchfest, getting his stuff snatched in Nigeria, and his ongoing show “Crushes, Loves, & One Night Stands.”
