Celebrities launching podcasts about their life seems to be a weekly occurrence, with celebs starting a podcast for a variety of reasons. For Trevor Noah, it could be that he's tired of the TV grind. For T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach it could be that they were fired by ABC for being incredibly self-absorbed.
But actor Shannen Doherty's announcement is different. Doherty has been battling breast cancer since 2015 and currently, Doherty has been diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer. The cancer has spread to her brain.
Yet, Shannen Doherty isn’t letting any of the challenges life has thrown at her get in the way of launching an exciting new project.
The “Beverly Hills, 90210” "Charmed" actor, 52, is set to debut the new iHeartRadio podcast “Let’s Be Clear with Shannen Doherty” next week, which will cover many aspects of her life, both professional and personal.
Doherty told People Magazine in an interview published on Tuesday that those aspects will include her experiences living with cancer, and that it will “explore all the different phases and stages” of the disease, including “what it’s like to lose your hair (a) multitude of times, (and) how to stay authentic to yourself.”
This week, Doherty, in that People Magazine interview, explained that doctors will be among the guests she speaks to, and that the podcast is encouraging her on her journey, calling it “invigorating” and saying it “helps me for sure.”
“When I’m working and when I’m creative, there’s no room for depression at all. It fuels me,” she said in the interview. “Working makes me so happy. Even my podcast producers were like, ‘Really? You’re going to do three episodes in one day? It’s a lot.’ And I was like, ‘I could do five in a day.’”
In “Let’s Be Clear,” Doherty will also take on her career in its entirety, from “what it was like for me to work with Michael Landon on ‘Little House (on the Prairie)’” to her experiences during “the ’90210’ days” as well as making the 1988 classic teen film “Heathers.”
Shannen Doherty will open up like never before in her new live memoir podcast. “Let’s Be Clear” promises to be a raw and candid exploration of Doherty’s personal journey covering everything from her TV and film credits to her stage four cancer battle, friendships, divorces and more.
As Shannen Doherty says, “It doesn’t matter how many times you fall, it’s about how you get back up.”
