Despite several attempts at launching a podcast (and failing miserably), Jenelle Evans is once again trying to break into the podcasting world.
In an interview with The Sun this week, the fired Teen Mom star not only claimed that she is about to launch her own podcast, but also stated that she is going to doing a podcast “network,” containing shows from people she met on TikTok.
As you do…
“I am starting a podcast network,” she proudly told The Sun. “I will be signing moms that I have befriended on TikTok.”
While Jenelle didn’t reveal who the actual moms are that she has “signed,” she did add that she is “producing two to three shows right now.”
“They are in the works,” she said. “I am excited to announce them.”
This is, of course, not the first time Jenelle has proclaimed she is throwing her (more-classier) hat into the podcasting arena. In July, Jenelle announced that she and her best friend Tori Rhyne were going to be doing a podcast together. Tori even moved from North Carolina to Las Vegas so that she and Jenelle could start the “besties” podcast, which they were threatening promising to put out once a week. As per usual when Jenelle is involved, though, the besties podcast never happened and Tori high (HIGH!)-tailed it back to North Carolina after she and Jenelle had a spat over underwear. (No, seriously….)
In addition to the never-got-off-the-ground “Besties” podcast, Jenelle has also had a few other podcasting failures. In 2024, she seemed to be attempting to start podcasting again with her failed Time of Day brand, but nothing was ever released, other than a promo picture.
Back in 2021, Jenelle hosted The Jenelle Evans Podcast, which lasted for about two episodes, one of which featured her then-husband David Eason burping into the camera, making “boobie” jokes and Jenelle saying “Um” while looking at her phone on-air. (You can read a recap of that riveting episode here.)
Jenelle’s biggest podcasting disaster, though, came in March of 2021, when she announced that she was launching a podcast/lifestyle brand with the unfortunate name “Girl S**t.” At the time she announced the project, Jenelle described it as a “girls group podcast” with girls from all different platforms, including social media and reality TV, coming together to do podcast episodes.
“I am a co-producer of this whole— it’s gonna be a brand. We don’t just want to do podcasts. We’re gonna film the podcasts, we’re gonna put it on YouTube. We’re gonna have TikTok. We’re gonna have a whole merch line,” Jenelle claimed at the time, adding that she had hand-picked girls for the project whom she thought “deserve this opportunity.”
Jenelle and some of her “handpicked girls” even got together for a promo photoshoot and party to launch the brand. Unfortunately (for Jenelle), she was fired after only one day after some of the other women found out about things in Jenelle’s past and did not want to work with her. Jenelle did not take the news well and hijinks ensued.
Anyway, Jenelle’s new podcast and podcasting network appears to have no real theme or structure as of now.
“It’s going to be about motherhood, parenting, relationships, divorce, anything I want to talk about. I am going to have special guests from time to time,” she told The Sun this week.
As ‘Teen Mom’ fans are aware, Jenelle’s former co-star Kail Lowry runs a successful podcasting network called KILLR that includes Kail’s three podcasts, as well as Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra‘s Cate & Ty Break It Down and three other podcasts.

I mean The Beavers might listen to some JE advice?
ahh, as I suspected, losing money hand over fist….
Enter the realization that life costs money and in order to afford it, you need to make more than you spend.
Most of us figure this out relatively quickly as adults, even quicker if we choose to have children.
A mom podcast from Jenelle. I think that breaks the rule of don’t ever take advice from someone whose life you wouldn’t want to live.
She’s doing 2 to 3? I could understand if it was UP there in numbers, like 90 to 100…but 2 to 3??? It’s one or the other, DeluJanelle!
How about concentrate on being a mom (for once) to the 2 kids you still have custody of so K doesn’t end up in lockup and E isn’t working a corner on the strip.
even kail who actually has a successful podcast network didn’t jump right in like that 😂
*insert ‘sure, jan’ GIF here* 🙄🤡
Kail, whether you like her or not, has turned out to be pretty business savvy. She doesn’t have a bunch of failed ideas she blabbed about and then never saw through. She’s seemed to be intentional and committed… with her business ventures anyway.
Twatzilla, on the other hand, comes across like someone who would try to sell pozi schemes at retirement homes in Florida.
*ponzi
lol. That’s funny. Like an evil cartoon character.
Kail has plenty of faults, but she did get her degree and seems to use it to plan her business ventures instead of just diving in.
Kail is also not a complete dumba$$, so there’s that too.
And I don’t want to hear any of Jenelle’s excuses. She had Barb, which is more than Kail had.
I can’t believe Jenelle is making me compliment Kail, but here we are. That’s how low Jenelle has gotten
Jenelle, stop trying to make a podcast happen. It’s not going to happen 😂
Chef’s kiss, Mick. 😂😂😂
Any “TikTok moms” putting their faith in Jenelle must live under a rock, or be as terrible of a human being as she is.
Can’t wait to see this crash and burn like everything else this potato does lmao
Has Jenelle ever actually succeeded at anything? Medical assistant college course. Obviously as a parent. Eyelash line. Previous podcast. Only fans. She has nothing to offer in the workforce. Isn’t she like 33? Never had a job🙄
Yes! Jenelle is scuba certified, just so you know. 😂
🤣🤣
Bahahaha! How did i forget about that??
“Is there anything you’d like to add to this interview to show you are a good fit for the company”—ugh, yeah dude. I’m a certified scuba instructor. I know how to shoot up heroin and I never act dramasticly.
Excuse you, she excelled at court mandated parenting classes about 5 times. She also won therapy when her doctor said she was fine and didnt need to go anymore.
Ackchewally, I consider the video editing she was doing at 17, 18 to be ok. Had she stuck it out, she may have had a career in it today.
MTV gave her a great opportunity to become someone and she chose to become no one.
& not a cool Braavosi “no one” but a literal useless human
obviously it’s gonna fail but if we really wanna piss her off we just gotta remind her how she wants to be like kail so bad who actually has a successful podcast network 😂😂
Right? Walk before you run Jenelle. Have a podcast that lasts more than 14 days first.
