Bindi Irwin Reveals the Unexpected Way Her Late Father's Adventurous Spirit Is Shared With Daughter Grace

Bindi Irwin honors her late father, Steve Irwin, by continuing his conservation legacy at the Australia Zoo. His spirit is also living on in an unexpected way — and daughter Grace Warrior, 4, is the beneficiary of that magic. On the June 5 episode of the Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelcie podcast, Bindi shared how her younger brother Robert, 21, embodies the spirit of their dad and shares it with his niece. More from SheKnows Bindi Irwin's Daughter Grace Was in Full Princess Mode at the Happiest Place on Earth 'He is such a good uncle,' gushed the 26-year-old mom of one. 'We actually call him a 'funcle' as well. As Grace has grown up, she just gets more and more excited to go on Uncle Robert adventures because, you know, he kind of like pushes the limits a little.' 'He does fun things and exciting things, and so she loves it,' she continued. 'He's so present with her which I love so much. When we were growing up as kids, me and Robert, it was very similar with Dad. He would do the same thing with us where he would pick us up and be like, 'OK, we are going to hike up this mountain while we're heading to the Simpson Desert to research fear snakes.' As kids, Bindi and Robert would happily follow Steve, who was 'such an adventurer' — a trait that she also sees in her brother. 'I see that he is so similar to dad and I'm really glad that Grace is gonna have that energy in her life like she would've had from dad,' she added. It's truly a tissue-grabbing moment because Steve lives on through his only son. Bindi and her husband, Chandler Powell, are raising Grace to know all about her late grandfather even though he passed in 2006 at the age of 44. They are both able to see flashes of the late conservationist in their daughter. 'I see so much of dad and our beautiful daughter Grace,' Bindi told E! News in May 2024. 'She has so much fiery, passionate energy about her. She just is a determined woman, and she never stops moving… She thinks that it's her job to make all the make sure all the animals are cared for. She is the kindest and most beautiful soul while also having this fiery energy that's like dad and I love it. I love it so much.' From the sounds of it, Grace is ready to run the Australian Zoo even as a preschooler, and that would make her grandfather proud.

Podcast hosts should feel like friends with good gossip. Do Meghan Markle and Michelle Obama pass the test?

There's no shortage of podcasts right now, especially celebrity-hosted ones, but being famous alone does not guarantee a show's success. Kylie Kelce turning on her mic in December — to discuss 'mom stuff' and 'set the record straight' about her famous family — is a great example of what listeners are craving right now: real talk, revelations and authenticity. Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce shot to the top of the charts when it debuted, briefly surpassing Spotify's perennial No. 1, The Joe Rogan Experience. More recently, Michelle Obama and Meghan Markle (who now goes by Meghan Sussex) — two of the most-talked-about women in the world, who are relentlessly covered in the press and have strong followings — have both returned to the podcast space with new shows. IMO with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson, the former first lady's chat fest with her brother, debuted March 12. Markle's Confessions of a Female Founder, about the launch of her As Ever brand, dropped its first episode on April 8. As podcast hosts, Obama and Meghan are more buttoned-up. Despite their massive star power, their shows seem to make less of a ripple in the cultural conversation. In fact, the conversations they have on other shows seem to get more traction. In Obama's case, her Higher Ground production company promised she'll be 'at her most relaxed and honest' discussing life's challenges, including relationships and parenting, with her only sibling and their A-list guests. While that sounds like exactly what audiences are into, it's taken a while to find that sweet spot. Instead of using IMO to address those relentless divorce rumors, which would be ratings gold, Obama talked about it on someone else's podcast. While that was great for Sophia Bush's Work in Progress, with the conversation spreading across social media, it did make listeners tune into Obama's own show. Perhaps learning from that, two weeks later, she wisely used the show with her name on it to discuss her much-buzzed-about decision to skip President Trump's inauguration. Despite a reported slow start, Obama's fans are tuning in. Podchaser, which tracks podcast popularity, estimates that IMO has had between 920,000 and 1.4 million listens in the last 30 days, a spokesperson told Yahoo Entertainment. As of press time, it's No. 13 on Apple's chart and No. 29 on Spotify's. 'We just want someone to show up as they are,' Michelle Glogovac, aka the Podcast Matchmaker, told Yahoo about podcast hosts. 'I think with Michelle Obama, we're getting some of her that we haven't seen before. She's becoming more herself now that she can because for so long she really couldn't.' Glogovac likes that Obama — who previously hosted The Michelle Obama Podcast (2020) and Michelle Obama: The Light Podcast (2023) — chose to pair up with her brother this time. 'If you've read [Becoming], you know that her family is a huge part,' says Glovovac. 'Her late mother lived in the White House. So having her brother be with her for this and having these conversations helps bring out who she is. It's an extra layer that's really cool. … We get to see her as a sister.' Markle also has the opportunity to speak her mind, which she said she wasn't allowed to do as a senior member of the royal family. However, the Suits alum is struggling with her public image — specifically what she shares about Prince Harry and their family — and that is reflected in her listenership. Of course, Confessions of a Female Founder was created to promote her brand, As Ever, and not delve into her personal life. But on other forums she has made some interesting revelations about her family. Meghan went makeup-free for her first-ever podcast interview on April 28's The Jamie Kern Lima Show, getting emotional discussing the 'trenches' of royal life and feeling she had to 'prove' she's a good wife. She talked about Archie having a cold and how he and Lilbet attend different schools. She got candid about early career challenges, her last name, and whether she plans to write another book (yes) or run for office (no). She also chatted about her family on stage for Time 100 on April 23. Yet on COAFF, she's made few personal revelations. While we know she's a good friend, she doesn't bring that friend with tea vibe to the show. It's largely brand-centric, with guests the average person has to Google to know who they are. You have to be a committed fan — of which there are many, dating back to her Suits and The Tig days — to connect with it, not to mention be a woman interested in starting her own business on the brink of an economic crisis. 'I think with Megan, as just a regular person — putting the podcast and her Netflix show aside — she wants to gain recognition and to be known without giving away any of her personal details,' Glogovac said. 'I don't think that's going to work for a podcast.' So far, it isn't. Podchaser estimates that COAFF has had between 36,000 and 46,000 listens since launch — which is, in As Ever terms, hundreds of thousands of flower sprinkles less than Obama's show. It's No. 158 on the Apple chart and didn't crack on Spotify's Top 100. For someone who generates as much press as she does, that figure suggests a disconnect. (It's important to note that Meghan has fewer episodes than Obama, debuting nearly one month later.) 'Human beings love to hear the stories of other human beings,' Glogovac said. 'That's why we eavesdrop at the coffee shop. I want to hear what's going on in that person's life, even if I don't know them… I think that's what people want [on podcasts] — to get to know these human beings … and Meghan's not giving us that.' People want a real glimpse into her life. They don't seem to want business advice from someone who has resources the average person never will. 'Everything's so scrutinized for her,' Glogovac said. 'Having the show is her opportunity to really show up as herself. I don't know if she's able to do it, or if she's just got this wall up... But you can see that the others are doing it and it's working.' There's podcast success, however, that's not measured by listens. COAFF — her second podcast after Archetypes failed to resonate, according to Spotify's CEO — could purely be a branding move to sell more jam. However, if that's driving it, you'd expect she would have stocked up on product first. As Ever sold out on day one and has been unavailable for the duration of her new podcast, a marketing miss. People see celebrities on screen everywhere these days. What they want from a podcast is the real person. 'Giving us something that we don't already know is really what makes a show,' Glogovac said. 'The behind-the-scenes [access], the secrets, spilling the tea so that we get to know the host on a personal level.' That's what Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce has been for a lot of people. The host is on maternity leave after having her fourth child, but a typical episode sees her pulling back the curtain on life with her shirt-ripping, ex-NFL star husband, Jason Kelce. The field hockey coach, who loathes the 'WAG' label, talks about their relationship and why, for example, she lets him sleep through night feedings, which spread across social media. The 33-year-old's observations about motherhood and pregnancy are honest and funny. She'll point out the boogers on her on-camera outfit, talk about her effort not to urinate while watching comedy at 39 weeks pregnant and share original parenting hacks — like how she calls bathwater 'butt soup' to discourage her daughters from drinking it. Kelce also debuted a sleeping baby Finn on the show at two days old. 'Kylie does spill the tea,' said Glogovac. 'She's honest. I hate the word 'authentic' — but she's being herself. She's just showing up and being herself.' It continues to pay off. Despite releasing three episodes this month, approximately one less than usual, Podchaser estimates that Kelce's podcast has had between 1.7 million and 2.5 million listens over the last 30 days. Another example of a celebrity podcast connecting with an audience is Good Hang With Amy Poehler, which debuted March 18 and, at press time, is the No. 1 show on Apple Podcasts and No. 27 on Spotify. The Saturday Night Live and Parks and Recreation alum promised the show would be 'good dumb fun' and it is. Poehler's debut included an interview with the Lucy to her Ethel, Tina Fey, and it was like old times as they mocked rich people with side hustles, being sure to take the piss out of themselves along the way. The episode started with a comical few minutes of Poehler laugh-crying at another guest, Rachel Dratch, who navigated numerous interruptions, including a food delivery, during a mini SNL reunion. The whole thing was 'hilarious and natural,' Glogovac observed. 'Amy could barely sit in her seat when she's talking because she's laughing so hard. We want to see that realness of who [hosts] are — not something that's scripted and trying to appease an audience.' The realness extended to conversation with guest Jack Black bonding over their CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines , which treat sleep apnea. Also, there was some real talk with guest Kathryn Hahn about her prep for an upcoming Hot Ones — which sees celebs ripping into progressively spicier chicken wings — to a colonoscopy cleanse. The women also laughed for about a minute when Hahn accidentally burped — and we laughed too. The 'dumb fun' has brought in between an estimated 868,000 and 1.3 million listens to Poehler's show over the last 30 days, according to Podchaser data. Ultimately, podcasts shouldn't feel like an obligation or a checkmark that a celebrity must earn for their Hollywood career climb. A good one can really elevate a star's status by connecting them to their fans. A bad one can generate more negative press that an already beleaguered celebrity can do without.

Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce welcome fourth daughter and give her an adorable name

Two weeks after Kylie Kelce's unborn child interrupted one of her podcast episodes, Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce's fourth daughter has made her grand entrance into the world. On Tuesday, April 1, the proud parents of now four children announced their youngest daughter's birth. Alongside several photos of their newborn baby girl, Kylie Kelce shared that their daughter was born March 30, writing, 'Whoop, there she is!' They also revealed their little one's name. And while it was suggested Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce were inspired to name their baby girl after Andie Anderson, the character played by Kate Hudson in one of Kylie Kelce's favorite movies, 'How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,' the couple went in a different direction. In the end, the couple named their fourth daughter, Finnley 'Finn' Anne Kelce. Finnley had become the star of Kylie Kelce's podcast, 'Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce,' over the last couple of weeks. During the March 13 episode of the podcast, Finnley interrupted the episode as her mom was speaking. As a result, Kylie Kelce exchanged some words with her unborn child on camera. 'I'm still unsure which one I'm rooting for,' she was saying before she was was distracted. With a grimace, Kylie Kelce spoke to her baby bump, saying, 'Get your foot. Thank you.' 'There's no room in there anymore,' the mom of four continued. 'And it hurts. I can't breathe. And it hurts. And we're back. Okay.' In addition to Finnley, Kylie Kelce and Jason Kelce are also parents to Wyatt, 5, Elliotte, 3 and Bennett, 2.

The Trump revolution will be podcasted

Kylie Kelce was at the top of the charts. The former field hockey coach and NFL royalty had dethroned Joe Rogan in his own domain — and his fans could not believe it. It happened late last year: Kelce — whose marriage to former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce had pulled her into the limelight — had launched a podcast called Not Gonna Lie With Kylie Kelce , promoting it as a medium for her opinions on motherhood, sports, and, occasionally, politics. Podcasting is a male-saturated world. While Alex Cooper's uber-successful Call Her Daddy podcast is among the few exceptions, men tend to occupy the top spots on podcasting charts. Think Joe Rogan, Theo Von, and Andrew Huberman. So it came as a surprise, especially to Rogan's fans, when Kelce's debut in December unseated The Joe Rogan Experience from Apple's No. 1 slot, and held the top spot for 10 days on Spotify's chart. Indeed, some of Rogan's fans claimed the numbers must have been artificially inflated. Kelce, they claimed, was a nobody. And yet the two shows would continue to trade places on Spotify for the next few weeks. Even now, though it only publishes once a week, Not Gonna Lie routinely remains in Spotify's top 10. There are many plausible reasons for the show's breakout success: her Kelce and Taylor Swift connections, her ability to speak relatably about motherhood and femininity, the show's relatively short (45-minute) length compared to competitors. But regardless of what fuels it, her trip to the top of the charts — and the resulting disbelief, mockery, and hot takes about that success — reveal a more interesting dynamic in entertainment and news media consumption in 2025. Podcasts have quickly become one of the main ways Americans inform themselves. While there are still traditional newscasts from news organizations, the most popular podcasts, particularly since the pandemic, are piloted by charismatic, trusted, and unpolished creators. Their content is a mix of news, political analysis, cultural commentary, and pop culture — with hosts often promising to deliver the truth or have the conversations no one else is having. But not everyone is listening to the same thing. Americans are sorting themselves into ideological bubbles, giving these shows and their hosts the reach and influence that was once the exclusive provenance of mainstream media. Audiences' ideological fragmentation, combined with these hosts' power, are creating different realms of truth, both via the hosts' opinions and the current events they choose to discuss for their fans. News and information is getting filtered to distinct groups of consumers in radically different ways — and there are no signs these habits are about to change. Indeed, as the second Trump administration takes off, they're positioned to further drive American polarization, serving as the right's chief communications wing in one realm and as a way to inform and organize opposition in another. Podcasts' role in the 2024 campaign, during which Donald Trump sat down for free-wheeling conversations with the most popular male hosts and Kamala Harris played catch-up with smaller liberal ones, demonstrated the medium's surging predominance in American life. A little more than a decade ago, slightly more than a tenth of Americans reported listening to one in a given month. That number has since quadrupled, to nearly half of the American population over the age of 12, according to Edison Research's 'Infinite Dial' media survey in 2024. The kinds of podcasts people are listening to have also shifted: What was once an arena dominated by public radio and establishment institutions has given way to a vast ecosystem of independent podcasters and non-news organization affiliated shows. As of 2023, less than 20 percent of the top 451 most-listened to shows are associated with mainstream news stalwarts like NPR, the New York Times, or The Ringer. Until recently, men, millennials, and older Americans were the primary consumers of these shows; but over the last few years, Gen Zers and women are driving growth in podcasting audiences. Weekly, or even, daily, discussions that fold in news and politics with pop culture, sports, self-help advice, and personal stories are how nearly a third of America keeps up to date with current events. In 2023, a Pew Research Center report found that about two-thirds of American podcast listeners hear news 'discussed' on their shows, even if it's not the main reason they listen. And yet what they are hearing can be radically different depending on the host and the audiences they are cultivating. Fact and opinion often blend together in conversations that filter information, and listeners aren't necessarily better informed as a result of it. This new breed of podcast — where the hosts primarily discuss sports, pop culture, history, or lifestyle trends and mix in some current events — creates a specific kind of intimacy and trust. Perhaps because these shows aren't setting out to be overtly political, audiences are loyal. These shows aren't your standard cable news fare — they might bring on a politician, like Trump's appearances last year, or remain apolitical. But most commonly, they blur the line between news, opinion, and analysis. The particular charisma and presence of podcast hosts makes them particularly influential in convincing their listeners to change habits or take action. Understanding this influence explains why the podcast circuit was such a major part of the strategies Trump and his campaign pursued — and just how important they'll be for political efforts in the next four years. That 2023 Pew study found a few practical examples of this sway. On average, more than half of listeners say a podcast has moved them to watch a movie or read a book, and about four in 10 had tried a new workout, or started a diet. And there are also signs of a core group of more loyal followers who feel comfortable spending money and time doing what these shows and their hosts suggest. At least one in 10 listeners had joined an online discussion group, donated to, volunteered for, or attended a political event or cause, and almost a third had bought something promoted on a podcast. This influence also means that listeners expect podcasters to be telling them the truth. A huge share, 87 percent, believe that what they're hearing on these shows is 'mostly accurate.' A third say they trust this information to be more accurate than what they get from other sources. These levels of trust are astounding, especially compared to trust in news from social media or mainstream media. And yet these kinds of shows don't necessarily have the same kind of editorial oversight or infrastructure as traditional news organizations do to fact-check and verify the claims and narratives they're spreading. And this is where the manosphere comes in. Republicans, or Americans who lean toward the GOP, are particularly loyal and trusting of these shows. They report, at much higher rates than Democrats or Democratic leaners, that they trust podcast news more than other sources, in part because they think these shows are giving them exclusive insights they wouldn't hear anywhere else. The most ideological and partisan listeners report that they tend to hear opinion and analysis that lines up with their preexisting views — they, in effect, shore themselves up in echo chambers in this ecosystem. When compared to moderate Republicans, twice as many conservative Republicans say they listen to political opinions that mostly match what they already think, according to Pew's 2023 survey. The same goes for liberal Democrats when compared to moderate Democrats. This ideological sorting also happens among listeners of the most popular shows. Some 54 percent of Rogan's listeners, for example, leaned toward Trump before the presidential election, one Edison Research survey found. Only a quarter leaned toward Harris. Call Her Daddy 's listenership was a mirror image. And Pod Save America , the most popular left-leaning show, is almost exclusively for Democrats. This development — where audiences are fiercely loyal to their chosen hosts and less exposed to others — creates an interesting dynamic. Information and political discussions get filtered into echo chambers. And it explains how the inhabitants of these different ideological realms can be surprised when they rediscover the other, as in the case for Rogan's fans at Kelce's success. These different realms of podcasting reality don't look like they'll disappear anytime soon. Given Trump and the political right's success in the last presidential cycle, it seems more likely that American liberals and the left will keep looking for ways to replicate, or at least mimic, what their rivals have accomplished. Which is why Not Gonna Lie 's success came at an interesting time: in looking for reasons to explain Harris's loss, Democrats and liberal thinkers identified one major contributor. Democrats had ignored the new media environment, and lost the fight for attention, particularly the influence of these podcasts and their hosts. Trump had understood this, and started early, at the suggestion of his zoomer son Barron and younger campaign aides. Now, Democrats need to create their own, liberal version of Rogan, the theory goes. They needed their own expansive, intimate network of relatable and trustworthy podcasters and influencers. The deeper angst here was the revelation that these increasingly popular podcasts could reach so many Americans and influence their thinking — and that liberals didn't have an answer. A realm like this exists, though it's not as expansive as those aiding the cultural right. The most obvious Rogan replicas — streamer Hasan Piker (3 million followers), the leftist Chapo Trap House network (about 150,000), the liberal Pod Save America bros (at least 1.5 million listeners per episode) — have loyal and devoted followers, but there are fewer of them, and the shows are more diffusely connected than those in the conservative manosphere, which seemed much better organized around politics in 2024. All of which suggests there's room to grow on the left. Podcasters themselves are trying to innovate to win these audiences. With declining interest in traditional formats of political and hard news, they're experimenting with different formats: livestreams, pushing video content, and developing even more close relationships with audiences. Young people, in particular, are hungry for this kind of content and analysis, especially on YouTube, Rachel Janfaza, a Gen Z political consultant and writer, told me. The Google-owned video platform is now the leading podcast hosting service, driven in large part by young people's demand for video-first content. Many of the most popular podcasts in America now record and stream directly on the platform. 'We'll see more movement there in terms of shows adding video components to podcasts, and that could be an area that explodes in the coming months, because [creators are seeing] ... young people love to keep YouTube streams on in the background, or YouTube shows on in the background while [doing other things],' she said. This makes Kelce's position, along with other liberal and female hosts like Cooper of Call Her Daddy , all the more interesting to watch in the coming years. There are large and growing audiences out there for them to take advantage of — particularly young, female, and liberal. So when Kelce revealed her politics 'aggressively' lean left, and that she hoped to interview former first lady Michelle Obama or Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro in the future, some wondered if they'd found their answer to the right. 'That Kylie Kelce could end up being 'the left's Joe Rogan' is going to really fuck with some of the (ahem, male) pundits' heads,' the head of one Democratic PAC posted on X. Based on her first six episodes, it doesn't seem like Kelce is trying to aggressively move down that lane. She's not diving into analysis of the end of the Biden presidency or the Trump term so far. She's instead talking with guests about the struggles of motherhood, the costs of child care, the struggle of raising young boys, and the future of TikTok. And that might be the whole point. She's not saying anything groundbreaking — yet. But she's saying something , feeding demand and cultivating an audience that will come to trust her when she wants to say something big .
