Vic Verbalaitis reports:
“So, here’s the news: Honestly is taking a little bit of a pause," she added, saying that it would return in “just a few short months.”
Weiss cited her duties at CBS News as the motivation for pausing the podcast, though the announcement coincides with a notable dip in the podcast’s YouTube audience.
Looking at Honestly‘s engagement on the platform, in 2024, half of its 22 episodes exceeded 100,000 views, including two that each reached over one million views. In 2025, only 10 of its nearly 70 episodes cracked over
100,000 views—and none exceeded 275,000. Weiss has reportedly been criticizing Alfonsi in on-background conversations with reporters.

The new editor-in-chief then plugged her brand’s other podcasts and content, including an impassioned plea for listeners to watch the ratings-challenged CBS Evening News with new host Tony Dokoupil.
