Advancing
Jillian Michaels has partnered with Bill Maher’s Club Random Studios to expand her long-running audio podcast, Keeping It Real: Conversations with Jillian Michaels, into a video format with a broader guest lineup spanning lifestyle, medicine, science, and current events, per the PR Newswire release. Michaels says the visual format lets her “delve deeper into the important conversations and present them in a more engaging and accessible way.” Maher said of the partnership: “Jill shares both a healthy curiosity and skepticism about issues both body and mind that affect us all.”
The podcast remains highly active: the podengine.ai episode feed shows roughly 975 episodes, with the latest published October 4, 2026. Recent episode topics have leaned heavily toward political and cultural commentary — including Steve Hilton on California, the Cornell 7 case, and the Lindsay Clancy trial — marking a pivot from the show’s fitness roots toward current-events commentary.
