This deal will see Wondery take control of global distribution for all future and past episodes of New Heights and secure “exclusive rights to monetize and distribute audio and video podcast episodes.”
The deal between Wondery, Jason, and Travis Kelce officially begins with Wednesday’s episode of New Heights.
Wondery CEO Jen Sargent released a statement, saying: “New Heights on the surface is a sports podcast, and sports is such a well-listened-to category. But it’s become a cultural phenomenon—they’re in that cultural zeitgeist.”
Travis Kelce and Jason confirmed the new partnership with Wondery in a statement, saying:
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights. We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to New Heights! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3—see you soon, 92%ers!”
Travis Kelce’s Relationship With Taylor Swift Certainly Helped The Popularity of His Podcast
Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and his brother Jason had a pretty popular podcast, but the numbers certainly grew once he started his latest relationship.
Once it was confirmed he was dating Taylor Swift last year, the numbers for ‘New Heights’ grew due to interest from millions of Swifties from across the globe.
Not only were they interested in seeing Travis Kelce and what he had to possibly say about their favorite artist, but they also wanted to learn about the sport that he played.
The new interest certainly helped the brothers land their new $100 million deal with Amazon.
