The Jonas Brothers are opening up a whole new lane in their ever-growing entertainment empire — and this time, they’re inviting fans straight into the conversation.

After nearly two decades of chart-topping songs, sold-out tours, television projects, business ventures, and public life lived under a spotlight, Kevin Jonas, Joe Jonas, and Nick Jonas are taking things somewhere more personal. The trio is officially launching Hey Jonas!, a brand-new video podcast created in partnership with iHeartPodcasts, with its debut arriving Wednesday (May 20).

For fans who have spent years watching the brothers evolve from Disney Channel stars to global entertainers, the new series promises something different from polished performances and red carpet appearances. Instead of concert stages and carefully curated moments, Hey Jonas! appears set to focus on the dynamic that started it all: three brothers simply being brothers.

According to the official synopsis released by iHeart, listeners can expect an unfiltered look behind the curtain.

“Known for their chart-topping hits and devoted fanbase, the brothers’ new podcast will give fans an inside look at the chaos, laughs and real-life moments of brotherhood through candid, unfiltered conversations about family, touring, personal moments fans rarely see and everything in between. Along the way, Kevin, Joe and Nick will be joined by people who know them best, from family members, close friends and longtime confidantes. More personal, more playful and more Jonas than ever, this series will bring fans closer to the brothers in a whole new way.”

The concept feels particularly fitting for the Jonas Brothers at this stage of their careers. The group has lived through multiple eras in front of the public eye. There was the explosive rise of their Disney years, their dominance of late-2000s pop culture, the surprise breakup that shocked fans in 2013, and the triumphant reunion years later with Happiness Begins, which reminded audiences that their chemistry never really disappeared.

But if their music has often documented the big moments, Hey Jonas! seems positioned to capture the smaller ones.

And for longtime fans, that may be the biggest draw.

The Jonas Brothers have always had a built-in advantage that many pop groups can’t manufacture: genuine family dynamics. The teasing, occasional chaos, and easy back-and-forth between Kevin, Joe, and Nick has often become just as memorable as the music itself. Interviews over the years frequently turned into mini-comedy sketches without trying to. Fans have seen glimpses of it in documentaries, behind-the-scenes footage, and social media clips — but a podcast gives them room to let those moments breathe.

The series is also introducing a direct line for listeners to participate.

Fans can call 1-84-HEY-JONAS (1-844-395-6627) and submit questions for the brothers themselves. The podcast promises that listeners may hear Kevin, Joe, and Nick respond directly to topics ranging from life advice and personal dilemmas to larger conversations happening online.

That level of fan interaction feels particularly aligned with the Jonas Brothers’ relationship with their audience. Few acts from their era have maintained such a loyal fan community across multiple generations. Fans who discovered them during the Camp Rock days are now adults with careers and families of their own, while newer listeners continue discovering their catalog.

The podcast also won’t stop at standard weekly episodes. Hey Jonas! will include bonus content and exclusive interviews that promise even more behind-the-scenes access.

For artists who have spent years on stages around the world, stepping behind a microphone in a more intimate format might seem like a smaller move. But podcasts have increasingly become a place where celebrities drop the carefully managed version of themselves and simply talk.

For the Jonas Brothers, Hey Jonas! might end up feeling less like a podcast and more like being added to the family group chat — chaos included.
