Amazon.com Inc has said that it would acquire podcast startup Wondery, aiming to beef up non-musical content on its Amazon Music app, according to a Reuters report.
Wondery, which houses popular podcasts like “Dirty John”, “Dr Death”, and “Business Wars”, has about 20 million monthly unique listeners, the news agency quoted a Variety report.
Amazon is relatively a late entrant to the booming podcast space, a key area of focus for Spotify technology, which has been investing in big names in an effort to become the Netflix of audio content.
