NEW YORK, Oct. 13, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Stitcher, the Triton-ranked #1 podcast company and SiriusXM subsidiary, today announced its acquisition of The Bellas Podcast hosted by sisters, WWE Hall of Fame Inductees, TV personalities, and best-selling authors Brie and Nikki Bella. The acclaimed series returns with new episodes beginning Wednesday, November 3.
Each week on The Bellas Podcast, Brie and Nikki turn on their mics to give listeners uncensored access to their lives like never before. The show will feature the Bella Twins welcoming special guests, touching on current issues and opening up to share real life moments and experiences that you won’t see on TV or social media.
“I’m excited to relaunch The Bellas Podcast with Stitcher,” said Brie Bella. “Since we’ve been on hiatus, I’ve really missed the authentic connection with the Bella Army that podcasting creates. It allows us to be vulnerable, raw and more present than any other platform and I can’t wait!!”
“This podcast has been one of my favorite platforms yet to use my voice,” added Nikki Bella. “I get to be uncensored, unedited and so raw. I’m beyond honored to be with SiriusXM’s Stitcher now! This is the perfect home for The Bellas Podcast. We’ve missed you our listeners and can’t wait to start chatting again!”
