What happens to H3 Podcast memberships as Ethan Klein works to leave the business
Last week, Ethan Klein announced that the H3 Podcast would be going on an indefinite hiatus after airing its final episode on Wednesday (October 21).
On Friday (October 23), Ethan’s wife and business partner, Hila, took to Instagram to announce their separation, alleging that Ethan had been ‘having an affair for over six months’.
In her post, Hila wrote: “I am in survival mode, trying to navigate separation, co-parenting, and unthinkable heartbreak.”
This was later reposted by Ethan, who also spoke out on his Instagram Story to reveal that he is working with Hila to ‘urgently remove’ his ownership and financial stakes in any podcasts, clothing line Teddy Fresh, makeup brand Teddy Glow, and any other joint ventures the couple have.

Now, fans have questioned what will happen to the podcast, which appears to have come to an indefinite end, despite paying memberships still live as of writing.
H3 Podcast fans question paying subscriptions
Some viewers have taken to social media themselves to query whether they should continue paying for the membership, which purports to give them access to exclusive benefits.
On Reddit, one user wrote: “So I know it’s early and I don’t expect any answers but for the paying members sake, it would be nice to know if I should cancel or keep paying? I don't want to pay Ethan. But if they show is continuing without him, I’d gladly keep paying.”
And another added: “All paid members should cancel their subscription, you are paying for a product you don't even know if will get anymore or not, they should cancel until some explanation is made and clear date for when the show will come back is given.”
Paying for the standard tier of the H3 Podcast costs $5 a month and reportedly comes with access to members-only streams and chats, access to the official H3 Discord server, as well as access to all free content on the YouTube page.
The supporter tier sets fans back by $25 a month and also includes early access to merch drops with 20% off, a monthly raffle for show call-ins, and a monthly raffle for show-related props or souvenirs.
It’s not clear whether fans still paying for these tiers will still be able to access these benefits, although viewers are still able to purchase new memberships.
Trisha Paytas breaks silence on Ethan Klein
Trisha Paytas broke her five year silence on Ethan Klein yesterday (October 27), during an episode of the Just Trish podcast where she claimed she had been ‘ridiculed’ for various things by the H3 Podcast over the years.
Trisha’s husband Moses, who is also Hila’s brother, spoke out too to say he was ‘in tears’ when he read his sister’s statement.
