Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is entering a new chapter. As longtime fans continue wondering what comes next for the “Jersey Shore” franchise, the reality TV icon has officially announced her latest project alongside longtime best friend and co-host Joey Camasta. The duo is bringing their hit podcast, “It’s Happening with Snooki & Joey,” to The Volume, marking a major expansion for the show as the entertainment and sports media company continues growing its pop culture footprint. The revamped version of the podcast officially launches Wednesday, June 10, with Hard Rock Bet serving as presenting sponsor.

Snooki And Joey Camasta Take ‘It’s Happening’ To New Home

For Snooki and Joey, the move represents more than just a new platform. The pair said joining The Volume offers an opportunity to grow the show while staying true to the chaotic energy listeners have come to expect.

“We are pumped to be partnering with The Volume for a fresh new look to our show!” Snooki shared via a press release sent to The Blast. “We’ve had our podcast for years now with loyal, amazing listeners and have always wanted to give them the best show possible.”

The former “Jersey Shore” star also teased what fans can expect when the show relaunches. “We’re coming back with more chaos, messy moments and new content that we’re super excited to share!” she said.

Joey Camasta Says Podcast Is Getting ‘Bigger’ And ‘More Unhinged’

Joey echoed Snooki’s excitement, hinting that longtime listeners should expect an even bigger version of the podcast they already love. “As we bring ‘It’s Happening with Snooki & Joey’ to The Volume, it feels like stepping into the future of podcasting, and they’re already leading the way,” he said.

Camasta added that despite the changes, the duo plans to keep the same chemistry that built their loyal audience. “It’s the same show at its core, just bigger, louder, and a little more unhinged, which should honestly concern everyone (but in a good way),” he added.

Known for their candid conversations, celebrity gossip, and unfiltered takes on friendship, relationships, and life in the spotlight, Snooki and Joey have built a devoted fanbase through the podcast’s couch-chat vibe.

Snooki’s New Move Comes As ‘Jersey Shore’ Questions Continue

The podcast expansion also arrives at an interesting time for Snooki as fans continue speculating about the future of MTV’s “Jersey Shore” universe. More than 15 years after the original reality series first turned Snooki, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Pauly D, JWoww, Vinny Guadagnino, Ronnie Ortiz-Magro, Deena Cortese, Angelina Pivarnick, and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola into household names, questions continue to swirl about what comes next for the franchise.

While “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” remains a fan favorite, cast members have increasingly expanded into outside ventures, with Snooki continuing to grow her personal brand through business, live appearances, and now a newly elevated podcast partnership.

For The Volume, Snooki and Joey’s arrival also signals a broader push into entertainment content beyond sports. “We’re all about giving dynamic personalities a real stage to connect with fans – and Nicole and Joey do that effortlessly,” Kelly Martin, The Volume’s Head of Talent, said. “They’re hilarious, honest, and their chemistry is undeniable.”

New Project Comes After Emotional Health Battle

The podcast relaunch also comes just weeks after Snooki candidly opened up about one of the most frightening experiences of her life: her stage 1 cervical cancer diagnosis.

During a May appearance on Kristin Cavallari’s “Let’s Be Honest” podcast, the “Jersey Shore” star admitted she spiraled emotionally after learning the news. “Terrifying. Like, hi, am I dying? What is going on? I definitely had a breakdown,” Polizzi confessed.

The reality star admitted her mind immediately jumped to worst-case scenarios. “Like, ‘Oh, my God, what am I gonna do? Gotta get my will in place. What’s gonna happen?’ Planning my funeral. I was being so dramatic,” she said.

Snooki later explained that researching the diagnosis helped calm some of her fears, especially after learning stage 1 cervical cancer is highly treatable. Still, the diagnosis took an emotional toll on her family.

How Snooki’s Cancer Diagnosis Impacted Her Children

Polizzi, who shares Lorenzo, Giovanna, and Angelo with her husband, Jionni LaValle, revealed that her children struggled to understand what was happening.

“My little one was like ‘mommy, are you going to heaven?’” she recalled. “I’m like, ‘can we stop?’ I like, had a mental breakdown. I was like ‘Everything’s going to be fine, mommy just has to do her tests and stuff and her surgeries.’”

The reality star has since shared that she plans to undergo a hysterectomy this summer and remains “terrified” about the procedure, but said she chose to speak publicly after hearing from other women who shared similar experiences online.
