Global superstars Venus and Serena are serving up a new podcast in August.

The sisters announced on Tuesday a new video-interview adventure in partnership with X (formerly Twitter).

“We’re so excited to be launching our new podcast, a place where we will share our personal stories, have authentic conversations, spotlight important topics, and laugh a lot,” they said in a joint statement.

“This platform gives us the chance to engage directly with our fans who have supported us throughout our careers, and we’re excited to connect with audiences, old and new, in a way we’ve never done before.”

The show “will center around guest interviews with ‘visionaries, creators and rulebreakers passionate about shattering the status quo’ to give fans ‘a front-row seat into their playful banter and undeniable bond,’” according to a press release.

Each episode will air exclusively on the X before being made available on other platforms. The podcast is being produced in collaboration with Serena Williams’ Nine Two Six Productions.

Since retiring from tennis, both sisters have partaken in their own respective ventures. Venus recently contributed to TNT Sports’ coverage of the French Open. Serena has been keeping busy with her WYN beauty brand and executive producing a tennis series for Netflix.
