Taylor
Swift’s
boyfriend,
Travis
Kelce,
and
his
brother
Jason
have
inked
a
$100
million
deal
to
hand
over
distribution
of
their
sports
podcast
series,
New
Heights
with
Jason
&
Travis
Kelce,
to
Amazon’s
Wondery
publisher,
reports
The
Wall
Street
Journal.
The
deal
gives
subscribers
to
Wondery
Plus
“early
and
ad-free”
access
to
the
popular
series,
Amazon
announced.
Wondery
Plus
subscribers
will
also
get
a
once-a-year
livestream
of
the
Kelces’
show,
according
to
the
Journal.
Otherwise,
folks
who
listen
to
New
Heights
(which
launched
in
2022
and
has
since
become
one
of
the
top
US
podcasts)
on
other
platforms
like
Apple
Podcasts
and
Spotify,
or
watch
it
on
YouTube,
probably
won’t
notice
much
of
a
difference.
“Wondery
understands
the
shared
vision
and
will
offer
a
wealth
of
experience
and
resources
to
take
us
to
new
heights,”
said
the
two
cohosts
in
Amazon’s
announcement.
“We
are
going
to
create
some
groundbreaking
moments
together
through
this
partnership.”
The
brothers
Kelce
will
give
Wondery
opportunities
for
other
live
events
and
first
dibs
on
any
product
lines
either
of
them
decides
to
introduce,
the
Journal
writes.
Podcast
deals
like
this,
which
lack
the
total
exclusivity
of
Spotify’s
older
deals,
include
Call
Her
Daddy
and
SmartLess,
both
of
which
SiriusXM
nabbed
this
year.
New
Heights
joins
other
Wondery
Plus
early
access
shows
like
Dax
Shepard’s
Armchair
Expert,
which
Wondery
secured
distribution
rights
for
in
July.
