Gorilla Cheeks started as an insult. Became a punchline. Now it’s a podcast.
Hosted by comedian Geneviève Dubé, this is a hang with funny, talented, and occasionally unhinged guests. Together they talk about culture, career, relationships, ego, and the stories that were simply too much to text.
It’s loose. It’s funny. It’s occasionally chaotic — and very much not a therapy session.
It’s grabbing a drink with a friend— just with microphones.
