Netflix and iHeartMedia Expand Podcast Partnership With New Celebrity-Led Shows

Netflix and iHeartMedia have expanded their exclusive video podcast partnership with a new lineup of star-driven shows. The latest agreement will bring podcasts hosted by Martha Stewart, Lele Pons, Kate Hudson, and Oliver Hudson to the streaming service.

The expanded Netflix-iHeartMedia podcast partnership continues the companies’ efforts to bring popular audio shows into the video space. New episodes from each podcast, along with selected library episodes, will be available on Netflix while remaining accessible through traditional podcast platforms.

The announcement builds on a partnership that already includes several of iHeartMedia’s most popular shows and follows the recent launch of The Breakfast Club as a live video experience on Netflix.

Three New Celebrity Podcasts Are Coming to Netflix

The newest additions to the Netflix iHeartMedia podcast partnership cover a range of topics, from celebrity conversations to lifestyle and entertainment.

Among the new arrivals is Suite 305 with Lele Pons, hosted by the social media star and entertainer. The show’s first episode features Shakira as a guest.

Netflix will also add The Martha Stewart Podcast, where the lifestyle icon sits down with notable guests for long-form conversations.

Completing the latest group is Sibling Revelry with Kate Hudson and Oliver Hudson, a podcast that explores family relationships, personal stories, and conversations with other well-known siblings.

According to Netflix and iHeartMedia, all future episodes of these shows will launch on the streaming platform alongside a curated selection of previous episodes.

The move gives Netflix subscribers access to a growing collection of conversation-based programming while allowing the podcasts to continue reaching audiences through their existing audio distribution channels.

The Partnership Continues to Grow

The newly announced podcasts join a substantial lineup of iHeartPodcasts already available through the partnership.

Current shows include:

  • The Breakfast Club
  • Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast
  • My Favorite Murder
  • Dear Chelsea
  • Joe and Jada
  • This Is Important
  • The Psychology of Your 20s
  • Behind the Bastards
  • Stuff They Don’t Want You to Know
  • Stuff You Missed in History Class
  • Stuff To Blow Your Mind
  • New Rory & MAL
  • 3 and Out with John Middlekauff
  • Buried Bones

The agreement reflects Netflix’s continued interest in expanding beyond traditional scripted and unscripted television programming by bringing established podcast brands onto the platform.

For iHeartMedia, the partnership creates an additional way for audiences to engage with shows that already have strong followings in the audio space.

The Breakfast Club Introduced a New Live Format

One of the most notable additions to the partnership arrived recently with the launch of The Breakfast Club as a live video show on Netflix.

The weekday program now airs simultaneously on Netflix, giving subscribers real-time access to interviews, discussions, and commentary as it happens.

Netflix viewers receive a version of the broadcast designed specifically for the platform. While traditional radio listeners hear commercial breaks, Netflix fills those periods with exclusive content, including extended conversations, bonus material, behind-the-scenes footage, and additional segments.

According to the companies, this creates nearly three continuous hours of programming each day.

The live rollout demonstrated how podcast and radio content can be adapted for streaming audiences while preserving the core format that listeners already know.

More Video Podcasts Are Arriving in the Coming Months

Netflix and iHeartMedia confirmed that the newest collection of podcasts will begin launching on the platform over the coming months.

Despite the video expansion, iHeartMedia will continue to retain all audio-only rights and distribution for the shows included in the partnership. The podcasts will remain available through iHeartRadio and other major podcast platforms.

The agreement represents another step in the growing relationship between Netflix and iHeartMedia, bringing established podcast personalities and formats to one of the world’s largest streaming services.

With new content from Martha Stewart, Lele Pons, Kate Hudson, and Oliver Hudson joining an already extensive lineup, Netflix subscribers will soon have even more options when it comes to interview-driven, lifestyle, comedy, and conversation-focused programming.
