As John Dutton once said, "Now words are weapons." And there are plenty of words to go around in the "Official Yellowstone Podcast," which launched today. The podcast will cover the entire series and Season 4 of "Yellowstone," currently airing on the Paramount Network. [The podcast is presented by 101 Studios, MTV Entertainment Studios, and Paramount Network and is hosted by Yellowstone cast member Jefferson White, who plays Jimmy. The first episode has already been released.

Some of the best podcasts are companions to hit television shows. They usually feature cast members, showrunners, and other staff members. The Official Podcast of The Crown The Official Podcast featured Queen Olivia Colman in a bonus episode, while Netflix's Behind the Scenes is a companion to the hit TV shows Stranger Things, The Witcher, and Umbrella Academy," and other popular series; HBO has produced companion podcasts for "Succession" and "Insecure."

And now "Yellowstone" has joined its illustrious ranks. In the first episode, Wes Bentley (Jamie Dutton) and Luke Grimes (Casey Dutton) discuss their characters and the role of "family" in the show. They recorded in a state-of-the-art sound studio at Wynn Las Vegas, the podcast's sponsor.

Upcoming guests include Yellowstone co-creator Taylor Sheridan and cast members Kelly Riley (Beth Dutton), Cole Hauser (Rip Wheeler), Gil Birmingham (Chief Thomas Rainwater), Kelsey Asbill ( Monica Dutton) and others are scheduled.

What, no Kevin Costner? We need to hear from John Dutton himself! [The podcast will also feature the cast of the Yellowstone prequel "1883," featuring Sam Elliott, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Isabel May, and Lamonica Garrett.

Yellowstone is currently the top series of the season across television (including broadcast, cable, and premium networks). The season 4 premiere drew a total of 12.7 million viewers across Paramount Network and three simulcasts on CMT, Pop, and TV Land; it was the most-watched season premiere on cable television since the opening of The Walking Dead in 2017.

At least that's something we can do while we wait for "Yellowstone" Season 4 Episode 7 (this Sunday, December 12 at 8 p.m. ET) to air on the Paramount Network; Sling TV (one of the best cable TV alternatives) has a monthly Paramount Network in the Comedy Extras package for an additional $6.
