“Dancing With the Stars” has set its first official podcast. Hosted by Season 33 winner Joey Graziadei, the podcast will premiere on Sept. 18, two days after the competition series’ Season 34 premiere.
In each episode, Graziadei will interview the “Dancing With the Stars” cast and other special guests to give behind-the-scenes insights and breakdowns of the performances. Produced by BBC Studios, the podcast will be available with video on Disney+ and Hulu. New episodes will drop on Thursdays.
The “Dancing With the Stars Official Podcast” is part of a larger video podcast push at Disney that began earlier this month with an “Only Murders in the Building” companion show. Other Disney shows expected to launch podcasts include “Paradise,” “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” “Murdaugh: Death in the Family,” “Percy Jackson and the Olympians” and “Tell Me Lies.”
Graziadei competed in Season 33 of “Dancing With the Stars” after appearing in two seasons of the “Bachelor” franchise. He was first a contestant on Season 20 of “The Bachelorette,” finishing as Charity Lawson’s runner-up before leading Season 28 of “The Bachelor.” The season ended with his proposal to Kelsey Anderson, to whom he is still engaged. On “Dancing With the Stars,” he was partnered with Jenna Johnson, who helped him to the Len Goodman Mirrorball Trophy championship in November 2024.
“I couldn’t be more excited and honored to be joining the ‘Dancing with the Stars’ team in this new way, bringing audiences exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content,” Graziadei said in a statement. “I have so many great memories from my time competing (and winning didn’t hurt), so I can’t think of a better way to connect with contestants and bring deeper conversations and fun moments to the podcast space.”
