WWE and Fanatics have officially announced the launch of a brand-new podcast hosted by Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. Titled “What Do You Wanna Talk About,” the podcast will premiere later in April 2025, with new episodes dropping every other week. Wheatley American Vodka sponsors the show and will be available across all audio platforms and WWE’s YouTube channel, which boasts over 108 million subscribers.

As per WWE's release, the podcast will feature one-on-one conversations between Rhodes and various WWE Superstars and Legends. Each episode will dive deep into their untold stories, career-defining moments, and personal insights. All the while, the guests and the host will enjoy cocktails crafted with Wheatley Vodka, WWE’s official vodka partner.
Rhodes is no stranger to podcasts and interviews, as he conducted a few in 2024, sitting down and talking to Randy Orton and Bianca Belair during his Wheatley Vodka tour. This news seems to suggest that the show will continue, with a twist and an official name on a lot more consistent basis. It's not clear if the news hints at a creative direction for Rhodes and if it increases or decreases his odds of retaining the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 41 when he takes on a heel John Cena.
This launch marks another major collaboration between WWE and Fanatics. Earlier this year, the companies expanded their partnership to include podcast production and distribution. Fanatics, already WWE’s exclusive global e-commerce and event merchandise partner, has also launched The Raw Recap Show and plans to debut instant-reaction episodes following every Premium Live Event.
Rhodes’ new podcast comes at a pivotal moment in WWE storytelling and at the height of his popularity. Already the face of the company, Rhodes keeps the kind of media and appearance schedule that Cena used to. This podcast is just another to-do item on his very long to-do list. With Rhodes riding high in popularity and momentum, “What Do You Wanna Talk About” is set to give fans a more personal look at the reigning champion and his journey inside and outside the ring.
