Raven-Symoné has given in to peer pressure and started her own podcast.

The 37-year-old actress, alongside her wife, Miranda Pearman-Maday, shared that they have created their podcast, "The Best Podcast Ever," which will launch in July. However, unlike other podcasts, the couple's own will include a never-seen-before twist involving a spinning wheel and a slew of renowned celebrities.

Behind her was her wife, who donned a black long-sleeved shirt, gray bottoms, and pink-tinted glasses. The "Gangster Squad" star also held a green home accessory shaped like an orange slice as she and her partner talked to the camera.

After explaining that she could not host the Instagram Live event, she promised her 2.4 million followers because she got "the sniffles," the "Dr. Dolittle" star stated, "We wanted to tell y'all something." Miranda interjected, "We have an announcement. We're having a podcast."

"We have teamed up with iHeart Radio to put together a podcast called 'The Best Podcast Ever with Raven & Miranda,' and it is so much fun," Raven added.

Miranda concurred that the podcast "is so exciting" before directing viewers to check out her and Raven's bios for the link where they could watch the podcast's trailer. She pointed out that even though the first episode would premiere on July 10, they needed people to subscribe as a reminder of when it starts.

The "Celebrity Game Face" participant further noted that they would be talking to stars such as JoJo Siwa, Keke Palmer, Demi Lovato, Adrienne Bailon, Howie Mendel, Meghan Trainor, Daryl Sabara, and many others. She then divulged that they had gotten the idea for the podcast's unique format from the "Tea Time" segment of their YouTube series, "8 PM."

That means a spinning wheel will determine the topic they discuss with their celebrity guest. To that end, their producer will pick a random word, which the lovebirds do not know beforehand, for each podcast episode using a spinning wheel.

Reacting to the news, one fan commented, "Excited to listen! Congratulations to you both!!" while another wrote, "Congrats ??❤️ love it and I cant wait cause I know its going to be so down to earth and so real. Im ready love you Raven."

"That is amazing @ravensymone !!! I am happy for the both of you guys! I guessed it wrong though I thought the both of you was gonna have a baby," a third fan noted. Others who shared the same thought indicated as much in the comments, with some asking Raven not to "play" with their feelings.

The Kids' Choice Award Recipient's Wife Signed An NDA During Their Dating Period

"The Suite Life of Zack and Cody" star's update seems to have temporarily taken people's minds off the recent revelation that she made all her previous and current partners sign a non-disclosure agreement before becoming romantically involved with them. Speaking about it during a conversation with Mandel, the "black-ish" regular said:

"All of my relationships, especially – obviously – when I started dating, I had to get people to sign NDAs. It took me a while to wrap my head around it because it's very impersonal, but someone in our position needs to do that."

After reiterating that she made them sign the agreement "before the naughty times come," the NAACP Image Award winner shared that she felt apprehensive about making Miranda sign it. As it turned out, her mother had repeatedly pressured her to get the documents signed even though she [Raven] knew that Miranda came "from the industry" and was familiar with keeping her life private.

Raven detailed that the "Charli Vs. Dixie" star was just as reluctant to append her name to the legal papers. Although she agreed that what they had was "something different," she ultimately signed because she knew it was out of their hands. "We both were like, 'This takes away the genuineness of it all, but we also understood that we live in Hollywood," Raven told Mandel.

The eye-opening conversation came after she informed fans that she had turned down Disney's offer to make her character in "Raven's Home" gay. As far as she was concerned, the eponymous character "never exhibited any type of sexual identity situation in the priors," and infusing that now would mean she is not being herself on the show.

Raven has been on Disney screens since 2017 when she reprised her role in the reboot version of the beloved sitcom,"That's So Raven."
