Actress Danielle Fishel Pulls Back Curtain On ‘DWTS’ With New iHeart Podcast.

Actress and director Danielle Fishel has signed with iHeartPodcasts to host a new series that will take listeners along her adventure as a cast member on the 34th season of the television series “Dancing with the Stars.” In addition to learning to tango and cha-cha, she will record two episodes of Danielle with the Stars. It is part of a new slate of shows that Fishel will executive produce as part of a wider deal with iHeart.

As host and executive producer, Fishel’s new podcast will take listeners behind the scenes as she recaps her journey on the television competition series. With no prior dance experience, the mother of two will share the highs, challenges, and unexpected layers that come with stepping into the ballroom spotlight. 

“In addition to all of the behind-the-scenes scoop, I will be interviewing fellow contestants for advice,” says Fishel in the show’s preview. Her first guest will be her newly announced dance partner, Pasha Pashkov. Other upcoming guests will also include Sabrina Bryan, who competed twice on “Dancing with the Stars,” first in Season 5 (2007) with Mark Ballas and later in the All-Stars Season 15 (2012) with Louis Van Amstel; and Jodie Sweetin, who joined Season 22 (2016) with Keo Motsepe.

The first episode of Danielle with the Stars debuts Friday (Sept. 5). And the new season of “Dancing with the Stars” will debut Sept. 16 on ABC-TV.

Fisher is a veteran podcaster. Danielle with the Stars will mark her fourth collaboration with iHeart, joining her hit series Pod Meets World, which she continues to co-host with Will Friedle and Rider Strong, as well as executive producing How Rude, Tanneritos! with Andrea Barber and Jodie Sweetin, and Magical Rewind with Sabrina Bryan and Will Friedle. Under her deal with iHeartPodcasts, Fishel will executive produce additional shows.
