Jonas Brothers to launch weekly podcast series
Mumbai, May 19
Pop-rock boy group Jonas Brothers are set to take the plunge into a different sphere of entertainment. The siblings are sharing the brotherly love on their new podcast series, 'Hey Jonas'.
The weekly podcast, executive produced by Kevin, Joe and Nick, will "pull fans deeper than ever into the brothers' world with an intimate, wildly fun and refreshingly unfiltered look at their lives on and off the stage", reports 'Variety'.
'Hey Jonas' is set to premiere on May 20 on major audio platforms. The series is launching under an exclusive deal with iHeartMedia.
Kevin says in the trailer, "I felt like everyone in the world had a podcast, so we just felt left out. So, we needed a podcast". After a short pause, Nick says, "Well, I was thinking more that we had a lot of really important things to talk about. You know, we don't spend enough time with each other as it is. So why not just fill the space between soundcheck and the show with a podcast", Kevin interrupts, "Where we have to be together in a closed environment even more".
As per 'Variety', offering a glimpse into what the show will be like, in the trailer, the brothers also talk about whether they pee in the shower, what tattoos they would get right now; and the merits of sending someone flowers vs. an Edible Arrangements fruit basket as a gift.
'Hey Jonas' will feature "real-life moments of brotherhood through candid, unfiltered conversations about family, touring, personal moments fans rarely see and everything in between. Along the way, Kevin, Joe and Nick will be joined by people who know them best, from family members, close friends and longtime confidantes".
'Hey Jonas' is also executive produced by Amy Sugarman and Danielle Romo for iHeartPodcasts.

Honestly, I think it's a smart move. Bollywood stars have podcasts now too, but Jonas Brothers bringing their global fanbase is a big deal. Although, I hope they talk about something meaningful and not just random nonsense. India has such a huge listenership for podcasts — if they connect with desi fans, it could be huge. Fingers crossed! 🤞
Pee in the shower discussion?! Seriously? 😂 That's what passes for 'unfiltered' nowadays? I mean, I'm all for candid conversations, but these guys made us swoon with 'Lovebug' and 'SOS', and now they're talking bathroom habits. It's a bit too much information for me. But I guess it will still be entertaining aj kal ke generation ke liye.
Brothers ki bonding toh sabse best hoti hai — chahe woh Jonas ho ya Indian bhai-bahan. Mera apna bhai hai, uske saath baat karte waqt aisa hi hota hai. Lekin thoda rishtedaaron aur dostaan ko bulana bhi interesting hoga. Aur suna hai woh India tour ke baare mein bhi discuss karenge? Tab toh hum Sablog bhi sunenge! 🇮🇳
It's nice, but honestly the market is saturated with podcasts already. I hope they have something unique to offer. The trailer sounds fun but I'm not sure if I'll subscribe. Might watch a snippet on YouTube if it goes viral. India needs more substance over fluff, especially when they have such a big platform.
