“Don’t Tell Anyone” premieres Tuesday, Dec. 12, with new episodes to follow weekly. It will be available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other major podcasting platforms in both audio and video formats.

The premiere episode will feature “things I’ve never admitted online,” according to Pokimane. The Dec. 19 segment covers “red flags (including mine lol),” while Dec. 25 will be about “how I didn’t lose my virginity.” In each episode of the series, Pokimane “will dive into a new topic, covering internet culture, relationships, money, wellness, beauty standards and everything in between,” per the podcast’s description. “Featuring honest and unfiltered advice, ‘Don’t Tell Anyone’ is your new Tuesday ritual.”

Pokimane has more than 30 million followers across social channels and has collaborated with the likes of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and T-Pain. Her entrepreneurial efforts have included the recent launch of her company, Myna Snacks, backed by Connect Ventures and co-founded with Darcey Macken. She co-founded creator collective OfflineTV as well as RTS, a gaming talent management and brand consulting firm. In addition, Pokimane had a cameo in 2021 film “Free Guy” starring Ryan Reynolds.

Pokimane — a portmanteau of “Pokémon” and her first name, Imane — has been streaming since she was 17. Born in Morocco in 1996, she moved with her family when she was four years old to Quebec, Canada. Pokimane began playing MMOs (massively multiplayer online games) in middle school, and in high school discovered Twitch.
