CNN has announced a new partnership with Lemonada Media to bring the video versions of some of the company’s biggest podcasts to the CNN app.
Included in the deal are podcasts hosted by Hasan Minhaj, Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody, Steve Burns, Dan Buettner, Gretchen Rubin, and Lori Gottlieb.
Select episodes from the libraries of those programs are already available on the CNN app to the network’s subscribers. Meanwhile, future episodes will be made available when they are published by Lemonada Media.
“The rapid growth of video podcasts underscores the appetite for smart, personality-driven nonfiction content – an area where CNN has long been a leader,” said CNN Originals Executive Vice President of CNN Originals and Creative Development for CNN Worldwide Amy Entelis. “This collaboration with Lemonada builds on that strength, enabling us to scale thoughtfully, expand into new verticals, and meet audiences where they are increasingly watching.”
“This partnership with CNN marks an exciting next chapter for Lemonada,” said Stephanie Wittels Wachs, Lemonada CEO. “As demand for video podcasts continues to grow, we’re thrilled to bring our standout slate of video content to new audiences and broaden access for existing fans.”
