Ina Garten Reveals Her Surprising Dream Podcast Guest Ahead of ‘Happy Hour With Ina Garten’ Launch

Ina Garten, the beloved cook and author known for her Barefoot Contessa Food Network program, is getting a podcast.

The 78-year-old told the New York Times in an interview published Sunday, June 21, that she “thought it would be really fun to be in that stream,” calling podcasting “younger and cooler” and a medium that is “moving fast.”

According to the publication, Happy Hour With Ina Garten will be released in September — and the TV personality already has potential guests in mind. Atop the list is Tom Holland, the Times reports, adding that Garten wants to ask him about cooking with wife Zendaya.

After receiving interest from multiple companies to work with Garten on the podcast, she reportedly landed a seven-figure deal with Vox Media.

Garten’s podcast episodes — which will be available on YouTube in addition to audio streaming platforms — are set to take place at her apartment.

“It’s all about personalization,” Garten told the Times. “You can watch TV one way, but you can watch and listen to podcasts any way you want, and I think that’s really what’s appealing about it.”

As for Garten’s first dream guest, maybe she’ll have better luck speaking with the English actor, 30, about his marriage to the Euphoria star, 29.

After months of rumors and speculation, Holland confirmed in an interview with Esquire published earlier this month that he and the Challengers actress have tied the knot — however, he wouldn’t share any details.

When discussing the viral AI-generated images of the couple appearing to say “I do” in a romantic wedding ceremony at Lake Como, Esquire wrote that Holland’s grandmother thought she wasn’t invited. After Holland was asked if he had to send out messages to other family members to explain, he said, “No, because they were all there.”

He then said, “That’s all you’ll get on that.”

Still, Holland gushed about his longtime love, saying, “We can support each other in ways that only we can, because only we understand really what it’s like to live this life, and I think that is such a luxury, because I just don’t understand how I would be able to have anything like that with anyone else. So, for me, I found my person.”
