A Little Dangerous with Stephen James

A Little Dangerous is a podcast about trauma, survival, and the humor people use to stay alive. Hosted by stand-up comedian Stephen James , the show is grounded in lived experience—not theory, not exaggeration. Stephen is a survivor of sexual assault and gun violence. He was shot in the face, experienced homelessness, and endured profound personal loss, including the death of his mother. These stories aren’t shared for shock value. They’re shared because honesty matters—especially when people are at their most vulnerable. Each episode features real conversations with guests who have lived through experiences that were painful, risky, and sometimes a little dangerous. Together, they talk about what they survived, what it cost them, and how humor, truth, and connection helped them keep going. This podcast doesn’t promise healing. It promises honesty. And that kind of honesty is always a little dangerous but together we can fix it.
