The Jonas Brothers are bringing their podcast to the streaming world. “Hey Jonas!” will begin streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Aug. 14 as part of a new video podcast agreement between Disney and iHeartMedia. New episodes will be released weekly, expanding the show beyond its existing audio audience.
A description of the podcast reads as follows – Hey Jonas! is the official Jonas Brothers podcast. “Hosted by Kevin, Joe, and Nick Jonas, it’s the Jonas Brothers you know… musicians, actors, and well, yes, brothers. Now, they’re sharing another side of themselves in the playful, intimate, and irreverent way only they can. Spend time with the Jonas Brothers here and stay a little bit longer for deep conversations like never before.”
The podcast, which debuted in May, gives the brothers a forum to discuss their careers, family life and experiences away from the stage, while also incorporating fan interaction and guest appearances. Recent episodes have included conversations with guests such as Priyanka Chopra Jonas (Nick’s wife), and Niall Horan.
“Hey Jonas!” will launch with an episode centered on “Camp Rock,” timed to the Aug. 14 Disney+ premiere of “Camp Rock 3,” which reunites the Jonas Brothers with the franchise that helped establish them as Disney stars. The podcast will also feature episodes recorded live at D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event in Anaheim, California, later that weekend.
The move comes as Disney+ and Hulu add six iHeartPodcasts to their platforms. In addition to “Hey Jonas!,” the agreement includes “Pod Meets World,” which will stream on Disney+, as well as “Desperately Devoted,” “Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald,” “StraightioLab” and “Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim,” which will arrive on Hulu over the coming months. Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
