The Most Dramatic Podcast Ever teases the podcast host "will dig into all things relationships every week."
Listeners will be "up close and personal with Chris as he navigates through dating, marriage, love, loss and more."
The ex-Bachleorette star is "expected to discuss everything and there's no telling what he will have to say."
The former ABC star will host executive produce with his fiancee, Lauren Zima.
More Bachelor
The first installment of The Most Dramatic Podcast Eve will premiere on January 9, 2023.
THE COMMENTS
Unfortunately, critics jumped to the comments section and slammed the comeback attempt of the ex-Bachelor in Paradise host.
One critic said: "I feel like we're wanting and expecting too much..... if he were truly honest it would hurt his career.
"How much can he say against the current narrative? I hope he doesn't act all enlightened to please the woke."

Another critic added: "What's interesting about this Chris Harrison podcast announcement is that the press release VERY CAREFULLY avoids saying the words Bachelor, Bachelorette, etc.
"It's clearly been legally vetted up the wazoo. Anyone looking for a Bachelor Nation tell-all may be disappointed."
A third critic mentioned: "No one cares."
A fourth person wrote: "Glad you were gone! Never should've returned. Go back to being a has-been."
Fans seemed to be still upset with the TV star for coming to the defense of Rachael Kirkconnell, 26, back in 2021.
COMMENTS UNDER FIRE
Chris appeared on Extra for an interview with former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay.
Harrison defended the Bachelor contestant when photos of Rachael at an antebellum plantation-themed party in college leaked online.
At the time, Chris told Lindsay that audiences should give Kirkconnell “grace,” and said she was a victim of “cancel culture” following the backlash from the controversial photos.
When Lindsay fired back that it “wasn’t a good look” to recreate and celebrate a period in history when Black people were enslaved.
Chis replied: “Well, Rachel, is it a good look in 2018, or is it not a good look in 2021? Because there’s a big difference.”
The longtime host of the popular franchise was dragged through the mud for his comments.
HIS APOLOGY
Chris took to social media and apologized in a lengthy post.
The TV personality wrote: “To my Bachelor Nation family - I will always own a mistake when I make one, so I am here to extend a sincere apology."
He continued: “While I do not speak for Rachael Kirkconnell, my intentions were simply to ask for grace in offering her an opportunity to speak on her own behalf.”

He continued: “What I now realize I have done is cause harm by wrongly speaking in a manner that perpetuates racism, and for that, I am so deeply sorry."
After Chris announced his exit, Tayshia Adams and Kaitlyn Bristowe took over hosting duties.
