Khloe Kardashian is officially the first Kardashian/Jenner to enter the podcast industry. The Good American founder has announced that she will host a 26-episode podcast on Elon Musk's X platform (formerly known as Twitter) per The Hollywood Reporter.
“When thinking about the bold voices with global reach that X wants to stand behind, Khloé Kardashian is our perfect partner,” X CEO Linda Yaccarino told the publication. “This series demonstrates X’s commitment to empower creators to use video content as a means to enterprise every aspect of their business. I can’t wait for the world to tune in to her compelling conversations, and to provide her with a platform that will showcase her vision to a worldwide audience.”
Kardashian added in a statement, “I have a genuine curiosity about so many topics and I try to see the positive in everything. I can’t wait to explore, listen, and learn through this exciting journey. Thank you X for taking this ride with me.”
There is not much information on the podcast as of yet — including a start date — but the podcast is set to have a “boundary-pushing sense of humor with her signature relatability to tackle dilemmas ranging from the everyday to the ever absurd,” the company continued in a statement.
Kris Jenner Pitches Podcast Idea To Khloe Kardashian
This is not the first time that a podcast has been pitched to Kardashian. Kris Jenner, who is Khloe's mom and manager insisted that should start a podcast but at the time the now mom of two felt spread thin due to not having a team.
“While I appreciate all of that and I'm sure I would be good at a lot of things, I can't take on other responsibilities like that, starting something completely new, because I don't have a team to lean on, I don't have a management team,” she told her mom last year. “You are only there until the contract is signed and then you dissipate until you want to give me the next contract.”
“If I took on this podcast deal, I am overwhelmed with work that I'm doing all on my own because I have no team, no support. So before I take on another project, I have to fix the 20 that are so f–ked up and I don't know how to do that,” she continued. “And you don't know how to do that, because if you did, it would be fixed by now.”
While the argument seemed to get a bit heated between Kardashian and Jenner, the mom of two clarified that her issues are dealt with her mother's responsibilities as her manager which don't effect her relationship with Jenner.
“There's issues I have with my manager. Not my mom, my manager,” Kardashian made clear in her confessional. “And when I try to address those issues, I get a lot of pushback and it's always a guilt trip, things a mom would do and those lines get blurred, gray.”
“You're disappointed in my performance and I feel terrible about that. I want to find the thing that makes you happy, that's my job,” Jenner responded. “You have a really big following and a really big voice and you would be somebody everyone would want to listen to. If you want to do a podcast, we'll build a team. That's what I'm getting at.”
