Dancing with the Stars Launches Official Podcast Hosted by Season 33 Winner Joey Graziadei

Dancing with the Stars is launching its official podcast hosted by season 33 winner Joey Graziadei, premiering on September 18, shortly after the season 34 premiere on September 16. The podcast, produced by BBC Studios, will feature exclusive interviews with this season's cast, special guests, behind-the-scenes insights, and expert breakdowns of the performances, with new episodes released every Thursday on Disney+, Hulu, and other podcast platforms. Graziadei expressed excitement about connecting with contestants and sharing deeper conversations and fun moments, leveraging his experience as a former contestant and winner. This podcast is part of a broader push by Disney to create companion podcasts for several of its shows, including Only Murders in the Building, Paradise, and Percy Jackson and the Olympians. Season 34's cast includes notable celebrities such as Robert Irwin and Jen Affleck, among others. The launch of this podcast continues the trend of expanding the Dancing with the Stars brand into new media formats following previous unofficial podcasts focused on the show.
