Netflix and iHeartMedia are launching an exclusive video podcast partnership featuring more than 15 top iHeartPodcasts, including The Breakfast Club, My Favorite Murder, Joe and Jada, Chelsea Handler’s Dear Chelsea, This is Important, Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast, and The Psychology of Your 20s.

The rollout will begin in early 2026 in the United States, with plans to expand to additional markets afterward and ultimately extend beyond the US.

Video formats will supplement, not replace, the existing audio offerings, with iHeart continuing to host its audio podcasts and Netflix driving exclusive video versions.
