LOS ANGELES — Ever dreamed of getting the inside scoop on “American Idol”? Danielle Fishel is here to make that wish come true!
Every Wednesday, Danielle Fishel hosts the “American Idol Official Podcast,” where she chats with this year’s contestants, judges, and even past winners.
In these sessions, they delve into the show’s performances, offer behind-the-scenes insights, and provide expert takes on the judges’ feedback. Fishel keeps the atmosphere lively and entertaining with game segments, weekly-themed trivia, and perhaps even a throwback yearbook photo from a certain country singer’s high school days.
Fishel, beloved for her role as Topanga on the ABC sitcom “Boy Meets World” and its Disney Channel reboot “Girl Meets World,” is a dedicated “American Idol” fan. Fresh from her stint on “Dancing With The Stars” last season, she brings her passion for music and performance to the podcast.
To keep the show dynamic, Fishel invites a diverse range of guests, such as Grammy nominee and last year’s “Idol” winner Jamal Roberts. Last week’s 90s-themed episode welcomed Andrea Barber, star of “Full House” and “Fuller House,” who shared her experiences of growing up on sitcoms.
With “American Idol” now in its final rounds and only the Top Nine remaining, the podcast also offers a chance for a proper sendoff to the singers who won’t be returning next week, especially as the competition ramps up. They’re interviewed about what they’ve learned from their experiences on the show and the support they’ve felt from their fans back home.
You can find the “American Idol Official Podcast” every Wednesday on Hulu, Disney+ and anywhere you listen to your podcasts. And be sure to catch “American Idol” live Mondays 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+, and streaming next day on Hulu and Disney+.
