Camp Counselors Podcast
Two comedians and real-life partners share personal stories, read listener submissions, and riff on pop culture with a campy, gossipy vibe.
A comedy chat-cast hosted by fiancés Zachariah Porter and Jonathan Carson, framed with the loose, kitschy theme of a year-round summer camp called 'Camp Shady Birch'. Episodes blend the hosts' personal stories (from being briefly cast on reality TV to their own engagement) with comedic reactions to wild, listener-submitted tales about everything from roommate drama to digestive disasters. The show alternates between full-length episodes and shorter 'Trail Mix' episodes focused on these listener stories.
“The 'camp counselor' theme provides a unique framing device and recurring inside jokes for what is essentially a classic 'two friends talking' comedy format. The hosts' willingness to share intimate details of their own lives, including their relationship, builds a strong parasocial bond with their audience, who they call 'Happy Campers'.”
