Lele Pons is inviting you to a virtual slumber party.
On June 15, iHeartMedia's My Cultura Podcast Network announced that the social media star — who many consider to be one of the internet's first influencers — is launching her very own podcast, called Suite 305 with Lele Pons (the title is a nod to the Miami area code and the content creator's own roots).

Pons, whose full name is Eleanora Pons, is one of the most recognized content creators in the U.S., rising to fame on the now-defunct short-form video platform, Vine.
PEOPLE can exclusively reveal the trailer for the upcoming series, which features Lele seated on a hotel bed, as she welcomes in guests, including Shakira, Paris Hilton, cast members from Bridgerton and more.
According to a press release, the series will feature Pons as she invites "cultural movers and shakers, from global icons to rising stars" to "kick back" in their pajamas and chat.
Pons' vibrant personality shines through in the trailer as she chats with attendees, who perch with her on the edge of a bed.
"You have surprises?" she asks Shakira at one point during the clip, to which the "Waka Waka" singer replies, "Many surprises."
In another clip, Pons chats with Hilton, sitting between a mix of pink pillows, including one that says simply "Iconic," as she exclaims, "I found out I was pregnant, going to Paris's event."

At other points, the Latina creator gabs with her guests in Spanish — and teaches those less fluent a few favorite phrases of her own.
“I'm so excited to have my friends on this podcast and share the stories behind our friendships,” said Pons.
"So many people see us together online, but they don't know how we met or everything we've been through together. I can't wait to show a more personal and private side of each of them and have real conversations you've never heard before.”
"This is Suite 305," Pons says at the end of the trailer, as she enters the hotel room. "Here, oversharing is encouraged."
Pons was just a teenager in high school in Miami when she started investing her time and energy into building a future on Vine.
"I had a lot of videos because I never skipped a day. I was obsessed with posting every day," Pons, now 29, told PEOPLE exclusively in January 2025. "[Vine] was my first social media. I was not on Facebook, YouTube. I was on nothing."
While Pons rarely spoke in her clips, she was intent on squeezing physical comedy into each clip, managing to get laughs while sticking to Vine's six-second length limit on videos. The Venezuelan creator became the first Vine star to hit a billion views, or "loops," as they were dubbed on the app.
Pons emerged as one of the earlier major teen creators, so she commanded the younger demographic, and has managed to maintain her relevance long after Vine died in 2017, commanding audiences on Instagram and TikTok.
