Netflix and iHeartMedia have inked an exclusive video podcast deal under which more than 15 iHeartRadio podcasts will move to the streaming giant.
Video podcasts like The Breakfast Club, Joe and Jada, My Favorite Murder, Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast, Behind the Bastards, Dear Chelsea with Chelsea Handler, and This Is Important will only stream on Netflix starting in early 2026.
While the video versions of these podcasts will no longer appear on YouTube, iHeartRadio has retained audio rights and distribution for the shows, and they will continue streaming on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other audio platforms.
“We’re thrilled to expand that experience with an exciting new category—video podcasts,” Bob Pittman, CEO of iHeartMedia, said in a statement, per Variety.
“Netflix has a leading video-first service, and this partnership perfectly complements our strong audio foundation,” Pittman added. “Working with Netflix—an important leader in entertainment—gives fans one more way to connect with the personalities they love and opens the door to new audiences, including viewers discovering these shows for the first time.”
According to the outlet, in October, Netflix signed a similar deal with Spotify, which will bring a slate of the music streamer’s original video podcasts, such as The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Rewatchables, and Serial Killers, to subscribers in early 2026.
