Ray will get into “the highs and lows of hard work, sharing raw, honest stories with people she knows and those she’s meeting for the first time” on the podcast — where there’s ”no topic off-limits.”
In a statement, Ray said, “‘I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead’ (quite literally!) is about life’s journeys and what keeps us going. It’s unscripted, raw and real talk. Working fuels me, connecting with people fuels me, and this platform allows for connection and conversation on a more personal level, which really fuels me.”

Future guests include Billy Crudup, Bob Harper, Anne Burrell, Harlan Coben, Jacques Pépin, Jeremy Sisto and Billy Porter.
Ray also shared the news of her podcast on Instagram , writing, “Thank you so much @people for breaking the news. More coming soon.”

In early September, Ray made headlines after she appeared to slur her words in a cooking video.
In the Instagram clip from her “Rachael Ray in Tuscany” series, the TV personality whipped up Tony Bennett’s favorite dish, ossobuco, while recalling the time the late singer came over for dinner and slipped on her polished kitchen floor.
However, fans were distracted by the way Ray was speaking in the video.

“Wait! What’s going on with Rachael Ray?” one worried person commented.
“I love you but are you ok? I’m seriously concerned,” someone else wrote on the post.

Ray previously addressed her health back in 2008, when rumors began to swirl that she was undergoing surgery for throat cancer.
“Rachael is the picture of health,” Ray’s rep, Charlie Dougiello, said at the time. “She is having very minor surgery to remove a benign cyst on her vocal cord. It’s a common in-and-out procedure that she will have in early December and it will not adversely affect any of her daytime show or Food Network tapings.”
