The streaming giant announced on Tuesday that it's partnering with Spotify's podcast studio and The Ringer to offer 16 series, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, Conspiracy Theories, as well as The Ringer's shows on the NFL, NBA, Fantasy Football, and F1. The podcasts will appear on Netflix in the US starting in 2026."
"Spotify is bringing 16 podcasts to Netflix starting next year, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, Conspiracy Theories, and The Ringer NFL Show. As part of the deal, the shows won't appear 'in their entirety' on YouTube, according to a report from The New York Times. Not only is YouTube Netflix's biggest rival, it also tops Spotify and Apple Music as the most popular podcast streaming platform, raking in more than 1 billion listeners each month."
