Part nostalgia trip, part confessional, part masterclass in unconventional success—this is no ordinary interview podcast.
In Class Clown, Seann Walsh chats to the boldest rule-breakers in entertainment, uncovering the wild tales of childhood chaos, brushes with disaster, and the personal battles that shaped them. But beneath the mischief lies a powerful thread—how the very traits that caused trouble early on became the unexpected fuel for their biggest achievements.
Expect laugh-out-loud memories, raw moments of vulnerability, and the kind of hard-won wisdom you won't hear anywhere else.

Seann Walsh and Dr. Natalie Cawley break down our incredibly revealing interview with the brilliant Mike Rice. They dive into the psychological reasons why teenager years are so difficult, some potential ADHD markers that Mike exhibited as a youngster, the effect of late puberty and the anxiety that that lead to. Elsewhere, they get into on stage persona and the concept of Shadow Self, and Seann reveals the underpinning philosophy of his own comedy persona.
