The Gobcast

Hosted by The Gobcast

A call-in show where listeners share unfiltered stories about drugs, crime, and personal struggles with a non-judgmental, humorous host.

The brief

A hybrid call-in and interview show that delves into the chaotic, often illegal, and messy aspects of modern life. Host Goblin acts as a non-judgmental confessor and commentator for listeners' stories about bad drug trips, legal troubles, and bizarre situations, occasionally hosting long-form interviews with figures from niche subcultures.

The show's willingness to openly discuss illegal activities and personal failings without judgment sets it apart. Unlike more structured advice shows, Goblin's self-proclaimed "awful advice" and self-deprecating anecdotes create a unique, confessional atmosphere.
— What makes it distinctive
§1 · The host

Who hosts this show

Nicholas Campana, known professionally as Goblin, is an American YouTuber and podcaster based in Los Angeles. He built a large online following with his main YouTube channel by sharing raw, unfiltered stories about his personal history with substance abuse, often with a focus on harm reduction and education. Having started using drugs in his mid-teens, his content is heavily informed by his own experiences with addiction and recovery. The Gobcast extends this persona into a call-in and interview format, where he discusses similar themes with listeners and guests.

How The Gobcast interviews

When interviewing a formal guest, Goblin uses a relaxed, conversational approach, letting the guest narrate long stories with minimal interruption. He often opens with direct, sometimes startling questions about major life events (e.g., "You got shot six times?"). He probes for details on unusual experiences and mindsets during hardship, mixing serious topics with lighthearted personal questions. For call-in segments, he's more reactive and conversational, asking for specific details ("Why did you swing on your mom?") to understand the situation before offering commentary and sharing his own related stories.

Primarily a listener call-in show, with Goblin reacting to voicemails and live calls from the number [phone — gated]. He frequently uses callers' stories as a springboard for his own rants or related personal anecdotes. Episodes occasionally feature a single, long-form interview with a guest, and the show opens with the signature line, "Ladies and gents, boys and girls, welcome back to the Gobcast."
