Disney legends Ashley Eckstein and Michael James Scott are bringing their long-standing friendship to the airwaves. They have just introduced their new podcast, “HypeFriend!” which kicked off with a three-episode debut available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

The comedic podcast delves into what it truly means to be a “hype friend;” a person who is always present, uplifting, and spreading happiness. Listeners can look forward to amusing anecdotes, celebrity appearances, and genuine dialogues about forging enduring relationships.

Eckstein, known for her role as Ahsoka Tano in “Star Wars,” and Scott, famous for playing the Genie in Broadway’s “Aladdin,” will come together once more on July 24 to co-host the Her Universe Fashion Show at San Diego Comic-Con (SDCC), and will also conduct a live podcast recording on July 25.

On The Red Carpet has been able to speak with the two stars about all-things Disney and geeky.

The cast of Broadway’s ‘Aladdin’ share their excitement before a broadcast performance on ABC.

“It means so much to us to be able to be- to get to do the thing that we do on stage every night and bring that into homes is a true honor,” Scott explained, when we caught up with him last year at Walt Disney World ahead of a special number from “Aladdin” broadcast on ABC.

Last year, Eckstein shined at SDCC in an Uno dress, where she told us all about Her Universe.

“I host a geek couture fashion show at San Diego Comic-Con. It’s called the Her Universe Fashion Show, which is a brand that I founded in 2010, and this year was our 10th anniversary of our fashion show, which is combining all things geeky that’s celebrated at San Diego Comic-Con, with couture-level fashion.”

Guests featured in the premiere episodes of “HypeFriend!” include voice actor Bret Iwan (official voice of Mickey Mouse) and Andrew Levitt, also known as Nina West from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”

You can stream now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube. New episodes premiere weekly.

The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of this ABC station.
