Shane answered some questions about fear.

And gave some good advice on combatting those nerves.

He also had advice for aspiring documentarians and journalists.

His boner came up a few times.

As did Mexican pizza.

Shane had some thoughts on the state of journalism.

And was amped for VICE’s future plans.

He mused on homely comforts and epic threats.
