Chip and Joanna Gaines just announced their latest venture!

The Magnolia founders have launched a brand-new podcast network, they revealed on Thursday. The network, which is called Blind Nil Audio and operates under the couple's Blind Nil Media production company, launched with two shows on October 11: 50 Fires: A Conversation of Money and Meaning and This Morning Walk,

50 Fires is hosted by Carl Richards and will feature "hard conversations that will make people laugh, cry, and most importantly, navigate the complexities of money while uncovering the profoundly personal nature of our financial choices," according to a press release.

The Morning Walk is hosted by Libby DeLana and Alex Elle and promises to "motivate listeners with the power of an everyday walk."

Fans can expect all programs on the network to "feature inspiring and empowering content that will inform, entertain, and catalyze new ways of thinking to expand perspectives and bring people together," according to the release.

Chip and Joanna also shared their thoughts on the new project: “We believe in the power of storytelling and are excited to explore new formats with this platform," they said.

Blind Nil Audio was created in partnership with The Roost, an Austin-based podcast network that is part of Warner Bros. Discovery‘s Rooster Teeth division. (The Gaineses' Magnolia Network is also part of Warner Bros. Discovery.)

“The Roost has done incredible things in podcasts and we’re thrilled to bring our teams together to see what new voices and stories there are to share with the world," Chip and Joanna said of the pairing.
