"Excited as hell for this partnership!"
- Top-tier Collaboration Solidified for Podcast Adventure
The Kelce bros are pumped to link up with "Wondery" for the future edition of New Heights, they announced in a statement. "We're loving this show and its loyal fanbase that's grown with us over the last couple seasons," they shared. This collab is set to send them "soaring even higher" and deliver "some pretty awesome moments," they hinted. "Can't wait for Season 3 to drop," they suggested.
Wondery's chief executive lauded the duo for offering "unparalleled behind-the-scenes access to the NFL season and pro sports," paired with "hilarious banter, current commentary, and star-studded chat sessions." As revealed by Amazon's statement, Wondery has taken exclusive rights to the weekly podcast, with Amazon obtaining exclusive distribution rights for all episodes, starting Aug. 28. Plus, Wondery is permitted to create international audio versions.
Already a hit podcast
NFL star Travis Kelce's fame spills off the field, according to an Edison Research survey. In the U.S. first quarter, "New Heights" ranked fourth in the most-played podcasts. This partnership might propel them into the international market. Although Kelce wasn't signed, his new contract to 2027, reportedly valued at around $34 million (approximately €31 million), as per an NFL Network journalist, showed he was doing fine.
To guarantee "New Heights" continues globally, the European Union regulatory body announced it would adopt implementing acts under Article 11(2). The body praised this partnership between Wondery, Kelce, and the "New Heights" podcast, stating it would play a crucial role in its worldwide expansion.
