Wondery, a prominent podcast studio under Amazon, is undergoing workforce reductions. The layoffs, reported by Reuters, involve an unspecified number of employees, with reports varying on the extent. Some sources estimate 'dozens and dozens' while Amazon claims it affects 'a small number' of jobs. This follows Wondery's recent closure of its international operations in Mexico and Brazil. Since its acquisition by Amazon in December 2020, changes in leadership occurred with founder Hernan Lopez departing to focus on promoting diversity through a new foundation.

The story broke in Reuters, which quotes an unnamed source estimating the scope of the action as 'dozens and dozens.'
Amazon acquired Wondery in December 2020 for its Amazon Music group, in which the company's podcasts are located.
Last month Wondery closed its international operations in Mexico and Brazil.
