Amazon: Completes Purchase Of Podcast Maker Wondery

  • Wondery’s work will now be available through Amazon Music, per the company
  • Wondery has put out podcasts including “Dirty John,” “Dr. Death,” “Business Wars” and “The Shrink Next Door,” according to Amazon
  • Amazon writes that, when the deal closes, nothing will change for listeners, who will be able to keep accessing the podcasts through numerous providers
  • Then the idea is to expand what Amazon Music can offer, now drawing in podcasts as they continue to gain in popularity
  • The eCommerce giant’s music streaming service began offering podcasts in September
  • Amazon also partnered with Twitch earlier this year, and touted that partnership as well as the one with Wondery as a way to help make a “premier destination for creators.”
