Kelce brothers ink 3-year podcast deal worth $100 million
Travis and Jason Kelce will work directly with Amazon-owned podcast studio Wondery.
The Kelce brothers, Travis and Jason, have solidified their presence in the podcasting world by signing a groundbreaking deal with Amazon's Wondery, reportedly worth over $100 million. This three-year agreement grants Wondery global distribution rights for their popular podcast, *New Heights*, which the brothers launched in 2022.
The podcast has quickly risen to fame, thanks in part to the unique dynamic between Travis, a star tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs, and Jason, a recently retired center for the Philadelphia Eagles. The show blends candid conversations about their NFL experiences with insights into their personal lives and broader cultural discussions, attracting a diverse and loyal audience.
Wondery's involvement is expected to elevate *New Heights* even further. The deal includes not only distribution but also opportunities for monetization through ad-free episodes for Wondery+ subscribers, merchandise development, and even international adaptations. This move positions the Kelce brothers alongside other major podcasters like Joe Rogan and Alex Cooper, who have secured similarly lucrative deals.
The Kelce brothers have already proven themselves as influential figures off the field. Their podcast's success adds to a growing list of ventures, including their previous collaboration with Amazon for the documentary *Kelce* and Travis's upcoming hosting role on *Are You Smarter Than a Celebrity?* for Prime Video. Their ability to engage fans through multiple media channels highlights their versatility and appeal beyond sports.
This deal not only cements the Kelce brothers as prominent voices in the podcasting world but also underscores the increasing value of high-profile podcasts in the broader entertainment landscape. As the podcast continues to evolve under Wondery’s guidance, fans can expect even more innovative content and unique insights from the Kelce brothers.
