Amazon is making significant changes to its Wondery podcast network as the company shifts its focus towards video content. As part of a broader reorganization, around 110 staff members will lose their jobs. CEO Jen Sargent will also be leaving the company.
Wondery series will either be moved under Amazon’s Audible or become part of a new “creator services” team, which will focus on personality-driven shows. The Wondery brand will continue to exist on some of these creator services-run shows. This restructuring reflects the growing trend towards video content in podcasting and aims to adapt Amazon’s audio business to this shift.
