Netflix is stepping into the podcasting game with its first original video podcasts, starring Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson and NFL commentator Michael Irvin. The streaming giant has announced that The Pete Davidson Show will debut on January 30th, while The White House will hit the airwaves on January 19th.
Davidson's show promises to be a candid conversation series where he'll have "candid, no-holds-barred conversations" with his guests inside his garage. The first few episodes are set to drop every Friday, but details about Davidson's first guests and more about the show will be revealed in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Irvin is taking on another role as a podcast host, teaming up with former NFL pro Brandon Marshall to produce and co-host The White House. Named after the infamous party house from his NFL days, the show will air two episodes per week. A rotating cast of cohosts and guests are also part of the mix.
The launch comes at a time when Netflix is looking to expand its reach beyond video content. Its growing slate of licensed podcasts includes names like My Favorite Murder, The Bill Simmons Podcast, and Pardon My Take. However, in a twist, some shows may not be available on YouTube due to licensing agreements.
This marks the first foray into podcasting for Netflix, following reports from last year that the company was planning its own original podcast series.

about Netflix getting into podcasting! 
Pete Davidson's show sounds like it's gonna be super relatable and real talk 
, can't wait to dive in and hear what he has to say! 
And Michael Irvin's White House podcast? 
That's some cool crossovers with NFL fans 
, might just have me hooked from episode 1! 
Plus, it's dope they're teaming up with other shows like My Favorite Murder 
and Pardon My Take 
... gonna be a wild ride on YouTube or not 
.
. Not being able to find these shows on YouTube is pretty frustrating, especially if you're already invested in the platform. I hope they work out some deals that let people discover new podcasts across all platforms 
.
i mean who doesnt want to hear candid convo's with their fave celebs? and michael irvin is a total legend 
it makes sense that netflix would wanna dip into podcasting tho, they already got a huge library of licensed shows. maybe they'll even bring some of those outta youtube due to licensing deals 
i heard the first ep's dropping on friday so im def tuning in to see what all the fuss is about 
. They're trying to distract us from what's really going on behind the scenes. I mean, think about it - Pete Davidson and Michael Irvin, two guys with connections to the elite 
.
. They don't want us finding out about the real issues that affect our society. This is a classic case of the powers that be using media manipulation to keep us in the dark 
.
. I'll be keeping a close eye on these podcasts and see if they deliver on their promises 
.
. They're not just dipping their toes in podcasting, they're diving headfirst and making some serious moves to expand their reach. The fact that they're producing original content means we'll get to see fresh perspectives and unique voices – it's like a breath of fresh air 
.
Pete Davidson and Michael Irvin as podcast hosts?! Genius move by Netflix!!! 
I'm already imagining the guest list and I need more info, like, now!! 
. I mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned podcast? And it's cool to see Pete Davidson and Michael Irvin take on this new role. It's like, they're not just actors or sports commentators, but also hosts with a knack for storytelling.
I mean, streaming services have been doing podcasts for ages already. Is this just a way to say "Hey, we're still relevant" because Netflix isn't releasing any new shows? It's like they're trying too hard to be cool again.
. Time will tell!
! They're bringing some big names like Pete Davidson and Michael Irvin on board, which should bring in a new wave of listeners. I love how Pete's show is going to be super relaxed and candid - I'm already imagining some crazy conversations 
The White House is gonna be EVERYTHING 
️ I need more info on The Pete Davidson Show tho, Friday episodes every week? That's a solid commitment to quality content
