Dancing with the Stars is launching an official podcast for Season 34, hosted by last season’s celebrity winner Joey Graziadei. The podcast episodes will be available on Thursdays during the show’s new season.
Joey Graziadei Hosting Dancing with the Stars Podcast
The Bachelor star Joey Graziadei took home the Season 33 Mirrorball trophy last year with his partner Jenna Johnson. Now he’s getting behind the microphone to host an official Dancing with the Stars podcast.
According to Deadline, the podcast (which is produced by BBC Studios) will be available to stream on Thursdays on Disney+ and Hulu, as well as various podcast platforms. The first episode will debut on September 18, two days after the Season 34 premiere on ABC and Disney+.
DWTS has released a teaser video for the podcast featuring Graziadei, who shares that the weekly episodes will feature “exclusive cast interviews, behind-the-scenes secrets, and expert breakdowns of those iconic performances you just can’t stop talking about.”
“I have so many great memories from my time competing (and winning didn’t hurt),” Graziadei said in a statement, “so I can’t think of a better way to connect with contestants and bring deeper conversations and fun moments to the podcast space.”
This isn’t the first time Dancing with the Stars has had an official podcast. Deadline reports that the previous podcast was hosted by former pro dancer Kym Herjavec in 2019. Other unofficial podcasts about the show have included Cheryl Burke’s Sex, Lies, and Spray Tans.
Burke’s podcast launched in 2023 and ran until late 2024, when the longtime DWTS pro decided to step away from the project. The podcast featured recaps of new episodes and interviews with celebrities associated with the show.
