Get ready for a thrilling new podcast adventure! Danielle Fishel, fresh from her ballroom dance debut on "Dancing With the Stars," is diving into a seven-figure deal with iHeartMedia. But here's where it gets interesting: she's not just hosting a podcast, she's creating a weekly interview series titled "Teen Beat," and it's set to be a game-changer.
Imagine a podcast that delves into the untold stories of celebrities' teenage years, uncovering embarrassing fashion choices, first loves, and dramatic friendship dramas. Fishel, who spent her teenage years in the spotlight, is turning the tables and inviting her listeners to join her on a journey through the (untelevised) lives of the famous. It's like a backstage pass to the most intimate moments of their youth.
"Teen Beat" promises to be an unfiltered, raw, and hilarious ride. Fishel's enthusiasm is palpable as she declares, "I am the new Ryan Seacrest!" Her passion for this project is evident, and she's ready to take her listeners on a journey they won't forget.
But wait, there's more! This podcast is just one part of Fishel's exciting new collaboration with iHeartMedia. She and her husband, Jensen Karp, have signed an exclusive deal to produce and develop new projects together. Their company, Foghorn Media, has already delivered hits like "How Rude, Tanneritos!" and "Magical Rewind," and their latest podcast, "Pod Meets World," is closing in on an impressive 50 million downloads.
And if that wasn't enough, Fishel will continue her podcast journey with her "Boy Meets World" co-stars, Rider Strong and Will Friedle, on "Pod Meets World." They're set to recap the final season of their beloved show, but their multi-year deal ensures that the podcast will continue long after the recaps are done.
"Teen Beat" is set to premiere in January 2026, and it's already creating a buzz. With Fishel's charisma and the promise of juicy celebrity stories, this podcast is sure to be a hit.
