Amazon has announced that the company is acquiring Wondery, a major independent podcast creator and producer.
Amazon has two horses in the race – Amazon Music and Audible – but has a long way to go to reach the scale of Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Amazon has acquired the highly coveted podcast.com domain name as well as podcasting.com.
Podcasts are available on Amazon Music on the web, the Amazon Music app on iOS and Android as well as on Amazon Echo devices for all tiers of Amazon’s subscription service.
