Dropouts Podcast

A comedy podcast that ended its original multi-host format in 2025 and has since pivoted to producing celebrity poker tournaments.

The brief

What began as a classic influencer-led comedy talk show with multiple hosts has fundamentally changed. The original "Dropouts" podcast ended in mid-2025. The YouTube channel now serves as the home for the "Celebrity Poker Tour," a series of long-form, live-streamed poker games featuring a rotating cast of internet creators, reality stars, and athletes.

While the original podcast was known for its chaotic, multi-host dynamic, its current iteration as the Celebrity Poker Tour stands out by bringing together a diverse mix of internet-famous personalities and traditional celebrities for high-stakes poker games.

The show, known for its chaotic group dynamic, ran for over 260 episodes before the original hosts announced its end in July 2025, citing that the project had "run its course." The channel has since rebranded, now producing and streaming the "Celebrity Poker Tour," a series of poker tournaments featuring internet personalities and celebrities, hosted by original founder Zach Justice.
