"Bachelor Happy Hour," which can now be found on iHeartMedia every Tuesday, returned only one day after Charity Lawson's The Bachelorette season premiered on ABC.
"We are so excited to be here," Joe said on the podcast's new June 27 episode.
"We are the new hosts of 'Bachelor Happy Hour,' and we are so beyond excited to be here today," Serena added.
"We are both husband and wife, and now we're podcast co-hosts to add to the list!"
Joe acknowledged how he and Serena "have big shoes to fill," but he insisted, "I am ready to go. New season, new podcast, let's start fresh."
Serena often appeared as a guest on Joe's former The Bachelor-themed podcast, "Click Bait with Bachelor Nation," which had featured additional co-hosts such as Natasha Parker and Tia Booth.
Joe gushed about how he and Serena have "a good flow together" on the air, and Serena agreed, "There's not going to be a lot of surprises. I feel like we also work really well together in day to day life... and in a professional setting."
Serena also said she doesn't have any worries about podcasting together.

"It got me through all for that," Becca continued in her post. "I couldn't have done it without all of you incredible listeners, so thank you for tuning in and standing by me and for all of the support throughout the years. It means the world."
