Amanda Bynesis taking a break from her podcast.
The former child star shared a video on her Instagram Story Sunday night as she gave an update about the show,Amanda Bynes & Paul Sieminski: The Podcast, revealing that it’ll be on hiatus for the time being.
“So even though the podcast is doing really well and the response has been great, I’m going to take a pause on it for now,” Bynes, 37, said as she spoke into the camera in the selfie-style video.
“We are not able to get the type of guests that I’d like on the show, like sayJack HarloworDrakeorPost Malone,” she continued of her reasoning behind taking the pause.
“So maybe one day, if we’re able to get those types of guests on the show, we will resume the podcast. But for now, I’m taking a pause on it.”
Bynes and her co-host, Paul Sieminski, interviewed Los Angeles tattoo artist Dahlia Moth during their 26-minute debutepisode, which premiered on Dec. 9.
Per the synopsis, the podcast was going to focus on “the hosts' loves: fashion, artists, actors, actresses, music and everything else!”

Bynes firstannouncedthe project on Instagram last month. She said in a video that having Sieminski, a biochemist, as her co-host would be “super impressive.”
“Having his beautiful mind being a part of this podcast is just going to bring it to another level I think, because he’s going to ask great questions, and I think he’ll kind of carry most of the weight in terms of just, like, topics of conversation.”
