Dancing with the Stars launched its Dancing with the Stars Official Podcast today, hosted by Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy winner Joey Graziadei of The Bachelor fame, who won Season 33 with his professional partner Jenna Johnson.
Each week, Joey will have all the scoop from what’s happening on and off camera of the hit ABC dance competition, as well as interviews and commentary on performances. And, for week one, Graziadei debuted the podcast with a chat with co-hosts Alfonso Ribeiro and Julianne Hough.

“The vibe right now is competition,” Ribeiro said about the first night of Season 34. “I think at the end of the day, it’s a different vibe than any other season that I can remember, where there’s this many people who can absolutely win. They all brought it.”

Hough added, “I’m a fan of a lot of the celebrities and I’ve seen them on TikTok, dancing. You can tell when somebody is just in their body, even if they’re not technical dancers, and sometimes they surprise you.”
And then Graziadei revealed his exclusive news: The themes for each week of Season 34. Of course, we already know that Week 1 was Personal Anthem, but he broke down the rest of the season’s themes.

Many of them are familiar, but there is also a new theme – TikTok Night – and a couple of milestone celebrations: Disney Night will celebrate Disneyland’s 70th anniversary, and Week 9 will celebrate the Dancing with the Stars’ 20th Birthday Party. It may be Season 34, but DWTS has now been on television for 20 years!
