15 Celebs Who Started Podcasts

Lindsay Lohan

On Oct. 5, Lindsay Lohan announced she would be launching a podcast in early 2022 with Studio 71: “I’m looking forward to connecting more with my fans and having intimate conversations with thought leaders and friends across all industries.”

The Mean Girls star may not be the first celeb who comes to mind when you think of podcasts, but stars from all walks of life have started podcasting to make their voices heard. Click through for 14 more.

Paris Hilton

In February, Paris Hilton launched This Is Paris, and true to the revealing YouTube film it was named after, she uses her podcast to voice her truth, sharing candid thoughts on everything from Britney Spears’ conservatorship to pregnancy rumors. She has even invited stars like Taryn Manning to dispel rumors.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato launched 4D with Demi Lovato in May 2021 and came out as non-binary in their very first episode. Now, Lovato uses the podcast to learn new perspectives from a wide variety of guests, from Dr. Stephen Greer and yoga guru Sadhguru to stars like Hailey Bieber, JoJo Siwa, and Drew Barrymore.

Anna Faris

According to the name of her podcast, Faris is unqualified to give anyone advice about anything. Yet, that’s just what she does on Anna Faris Is Unqualified, speaking with stars like Cameron Diaz, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ben Platt, then giving hilariously unsolicited advice to her listeners.

Jonathan Van Ness

The most animated, fun-loving man of Queer Eye’s Fab Five has another outlet to gab about everything he loves. On Getting Curious, Jonathan Van Ness links up with everyone from actors and chefs to vets and chemists to dive deep into his many interests.

Jenna Fischer & Angela Kinsey

If your favorite classic TV show can’t be revived, the next best thing is a podcast. Every week, The Office stars Jenna Fischer and Angela Kinsey reunite to rewatch a new episode of the sitcom and share behind-the-scenes stories that “only two people who were there can tell you.”

Rachel Bilson & Melinda Clarke

Podcasts are truly the new reboots. On Welcome to the O.C., Bitches!, Rachel Bilson and Melinda Clarke reunite to break down a new episode of the dramedy every week, telling stories from set and even bringing on The O.C. co-stars like Tate Donovan and Peter Gallagher to share their favorite (and embarrassing) moments.

Sophia Bush

Unlike The O.C. and The Office stars’ podcasts, Sophia Bush doesn’t get nostalgic about her breakout show One Tree Hill on Work In Progress. Instead, she talks to politicians (Hillary Clinton), activists (Anita Hill), and even the Ben & Jerry about their journeys, giving fans valuable wisdom and life lessons.

Jennette McCurdy

Since you can’t watch Sam Puckett on the iCarly reboot, Jennette McCurdy’s podcast may be the next best thing. She holds nothing back on Empty Inside, diving into topics such as mental health, child stardom, and childhood trauma, and shedding light on why she’s not so inclined to return to the show.

Kate & Oliver Hudson

Did you know Kate Hudson was also a podcaster? She co-hosts Sibling Revelry with her brother and fellow actor Oliver, where they explore family spats, sibling rivalries, and even talk to other siblings with the aim of uniting families despite their differences.

Prince Harry & Meghan Markle

Meghan and Harry made headlines when they announced their new podcast, Archewell Audio, as part of a multiyear deal with Spotify to produce a series of podcasts. They’ve only released one episode so far, but with A-list appearances from Elton John, Naomi Osaka, Tyler Perry, and even their son Archie, expect a lot of star power and revealing conversations to come.
