\u00a0Evan Ross Katz<\/a> is known for embracing the chaos that comes with a juicy conversation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\nNow the writer, podcast host, and cultural commentator is bringing his signature voice to Netflix with the brand-new video podcast,\u00a0Shut Up Evan<\/i>,\u00a0<\/i>inspired by his GLAAD Media Award\u2013nominated series of the same name and produced by 32 Flavors.<\/p>\n
Launching with a premiere episode on May 1,\u00a0Shut Up Evan<\/i> will air twice a week.\u00a0\u201cDeep in the DMs With\u2026\u201d will feature intimate one-on-one conversation with actors, musicians, and tastemakers shaping the culture on Tuesdays. Then, Evan will be joined on Fridays by a rotating panel of celebrity guests for \u201cThe Group Chat\u201d to unpack the buzziest topics of the week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt’s an honor (understatement) to bring my podcast over to the wondrous world of Netflix. As an OG since the red envelope days, there’s no better place to call home,\u201d says Katz. \u201cThey’ve helped turn a passion project where I once interviewed stars like Cole Escola in my studio apartment (with a microphone I’d forget to connect to my computer) into a full-fledged video podcast. They’ve helped expand the scope beyond the show’s signature deep dive interviews, adding a rotating panel of guests I can’t wait for you to meet, who will be breaking down everything happening across the pop culture universe with me \u2014 from TV and film to memes and music, awards shows and events \u2014 and maybe even the occasional opera or ballet.\u201d<\/p>\n
Once deemed the \u201cmost valuable hypeman in the history of television\u201d by Mike White and\u00a0\u201csimply the best in the business\u201d by Ryan Murphy, Katz has spent his career as an entertainment journalist analyzing pop culture with a cheeky sense of humor. The chronically online meme king has built a devoted following thanks to his fan-first approach and ability to create engaging conversations with talented folks across Hollywood and beyond. Katz has also written profiles and interviews for a slew of global publications, in addition to hosting companion podcasts for series, including\u00a0The Comeback<\/i>,\u00a0Love Story<\/i>,\u00a0The Beauty, and White Lotus<\/i>.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Katz\u2019s industry knowledge runs deep, backed by accolades such as being named one of\u00a0FastCompany\u2019s \u201cMost Creative People in Business,\u201d one of the \u201c50 Reasons We (Still) Love Hollywood\u201d by the\u00a0Hollywood Reporter, and one of the\u00a0Washington Post’s “Next 50.”\u00a0<\/p>\n
