"Netflix has inked a deal with iHeartMedia to begin showing video podcasts, so the content will never, ever run out. The partnership covers new episodes from more than 15 popular podcasts, including The Breakfast Club, Dear Chelsea, My Favorite Murder and others. Customers will have access to video podcast episodes in early 2026. In addition to new footage, the partnership includes a select library of archival episodes from each show."
"It's worth noting that YouTube already platforms video versions of many popular podcasts, including stuff like The Breakfast Club. This follows a similar deal from earlier this year in which Netflix announced plans to stream video podcast episodes from Spotify. That partnership covers stuff like The Bill Simmons Podcast and The Zach Lowe Show, among others. Many people use podcasts for background noise and soon Netflix will be a major player in that market, such as it is."
