It's time to queue up wherever you listen to podcasts, because it looks like Hoda Kotb is officially coming back to the airwaves.
For the last three years, the Today show host has brought her loyal fanbase so many inspirational episodes of her Making Space podcast. After taking some time off to work on other things, Hoda announced during a November 8 taping that the show is officially coming back for season 4. What's more, she shared that the first two episodes of the new installment will premiere starting on November 15.
"This is my favorite season so far," she told co-star Jenna Bush Hager while filming Today With Hoda and Jenna. "We have such an eclectic group of people, but every person kind of surprised me ... Whenever I sit across somebody who I think I know, I realize I know nothing about them. I've read about them, I know their story, and I know zero because you get to live one life ... The life lessons that these guys have is incredible."
When fans discovered that Hoda would be bringing her award-winning podcast back for another season, they immediately showered her with words of excitement in the comments.
"I’d love to see Kathie Lee [Gifford] and you on it together!" one person wrote on Instagram, referencing Hoda's former co-host on Today's fourth hour. "👏👏👏👏," another succinctly added. "WOOO!" a different viewer cheered.
So, what can fans expect when they tune into Making Space season 4? Well, Hoda said she'll be speaking to a number of different celebrities about their life journeys, including Rainn Wilson, Maria Menounos, Melissa Etheridge, Erin Andrews and more. The news of her creating new installments comes less than a year after she announced that the podcast won Best Interview/Talk Show at the 2023 Webby Awards.
Congrats, Hoda and we can't wait to listen!
