Today, iHeartMedia and Netflix announced an exclusive video podcasting partnership that will bring more than 15 of iHeartMedia’s top original podcasts to the streaming platform. The deal will feature all-new episodes from the podcast lineup, along with select episodes from each show’s library.
“Bobby Bones Presents: The BobbyCast” is included in the deal along with “The Breakfast Club,” co-hosted by Charlamagne Tha God, “My Favorite Murder,” a wildly successful true crime podcast, shows from high profile talent such as Grammy-nominated music superstars Fat Joe and Jadakiss on “Joe and Jada,” “Dear Chelsea” with Chelsea Handler and “This Is Important” with “Workaholics” stars Adam Devine, Anders Holm and Blake Anderson.
“Bobby Bones Presents: The BobbyCast”, the hit music and entertainment podcast, features award-winning radio and TV personality Bobby Bones, a two-time New York Times best-selling author and the youngest-ever inductee into the National Radio Hall of Fame, chatting with some of the biggest names in music and entertainment.
“Audio podcasting has been the fastest-growing medium over the past 20 years, and now we’re thrilled to expand that experience with an exciting new category – video podcasts. Netflix has a leading video-first service, and this partnership perfectly complements our strong audio foundation. Working with Netflix—an important leader in entertainment— gives fans one more way to connect with the personalities they love and opens the door to new audiences, including viewers discovering these shows for the first time,” Bob Pittman, CEO of iHeartMedia, shared.
This partnership marks a major step in bringing iHeartMedia’s popular podcasts to a wider audience, giving fans the chance to experience their favorite shows in a whole new way—both through sound and on-screen visuals.
“These shows feature dynamic hosts, compelling conversations, and passionate fan communities—available in both audio and now as a natural video extension. Audiences can now not only listen but also watch and enjoy top-rated iHeartPodcasts alongside award-winning series and movies from Netflix,” Pittman added.
“With this partnership we are incredibly excited to offer our members such unmatched variety, and to deliver highly entertaining podcasts featuring some of the world’s most dynamic personalities,” Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy, continued.
The first new video podcast episodes are set to premiere on Netflix in the U.S. in early 2026, with additional markets to follow.
