The Jersey Shore’s Snooki & Deena Are Hosting A New Parenting Podcast

Somewhere between filming The Jersey Shore: Family Vacation and serving Sunday dinner for their families, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi and Deena Nicole Buckner found the time to record a podcast about all things motherhood. That’s right — the meatballs that taught us the important of GTL (gym, tan, laundry) and the perks of a little day drink are ready to dish on all the parenting topics and personal stories of their lives as moms.

Snooki and Deena announced The Meatball Pod comes out in August 2023.

Polizzi first posted about The Meatball Pod back in October 2022, and it seems like the time has finally come for its debut. In July, Buckner and Polizzi announced on Instagram that the podcast will drop its first episode on Aug. 3. You can subscribe in advance on Audioboom and Apple Podcasts.

Snooki and Deena will discuss motherhood on The Meatball Pod.

It’s not yet clear how many episodes we’ll get in the first season, but Audioboom describes the pod as a deep dive into “the true messiness of motherhood” with Deena and Snooki as your hot mess motherhood guides. Along the way, they’ll share stories from behind the scenes of The Jersey Shore and their summers in the Shore house, and interview other “notable moms,” though it’s not clear yet who their guests could be.

If you haven’t been an MTV viewer for many years now, let’s catch you up: both Polizzi and Buckner have thriving family lives. Polizzi and her husband, Jionni LaValle, share three children: son Lorenzo, age 10, daughter Giovanna, age 8, and son Angelo, who is 3. Buckner (formerly Deena Cortese) married husband Chris in 2017, and the pair have two sons, CJ, age 4, and Cameron, age 2. So, yeah, you could say they know a thing or two about mom life.

Snooki and Deena want to answer your parenting questions on the podcast.

If you want these guidettes’ advice on something you’re struggling with, they want to help! “We want you meatballs to call in and give us questions and tell us your meatball stories,” Snooki said on Instagram. To submit a parenting Q to the meatball moms, call 732-508-7952 and leave them a message.

Now we just have to wait, with bated breath, for them to do an episode with JWOWW.
