Netflix and iHeartMedia team up for an exclusive video podcasting partnership for 15-plus top iHeartPodcasts, including “The Breakfast Club” and “My Favorite Murder.”

Today, iHeartMedia and Netflix have announced an exclusive video podcasting partnership covering more than 15 of the top-leading original iHeartPodcast shows. The agreement includes all new episodes from the podcast lineup, as well as select library episodes from each. New video podcast episodes will launch on Netflix in early 2026 in the U.S., with more markets to follow.

The lineup of podcasts joining the streamer includes “The Breakfast Club,” co-hosted by Charlamagne Tha God; “My Favorite Murder,” one of the most successful true crime podcasts; shows from celebs like Fat Joe and Jadakiss on “Joe and Jada,” Chelsea Handler’s “Dear Chelsea,” “This is Important” from “Workaholics” stars Adam Devine, Anders Holm, and Blake Anderson; “Bobby Bones Presents: The Bobbycast” from radio and TV personality Bobby Bones; and “The Psychology of Your 20s.”

“Audio podcasting has been the fastest-growing medium over the past 20 years, and now we’re thrilled to expand that experience with an exciting new category: video podcasts,” said Bob Pittman, CEO of iHeartMedia.

“Netflix has a leading video-first service, and this partnership perfectly complements our strong audio foundation. 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.”

“These shows feature dynamic hosts, compelling conversations, and passionate fan communities—available in both audio and now as a natural video extension. Audiences can now not only listen but also watch and enjoy top-rated iHeartPodcasts alongside award-winning series and movies from Netflix,” Pittman concluded.

“With this partnership, we are incredibly excited to offer our members such unmatched variety, and to deliver highly entertaining podcasts featuring some of the world’s most dynamic personalities,” said Lauren Smith, Netflix VP of Content Licensing and Programming Strategy. “Get ready to dive in with the true crime phenomenon ‘My Favorite Murder,’ the dynamic perspectives of ‘The Breakfast Club,’ and the sharp, unfiltered comedy of Chelsea Handler in this initial collection.”

This news follows Netflix reaching a deal with Spotify to bring some of its video podcasts to the service in a landmark partnership. Perhaps not surprising, since video podcasts are YouTube’s largest growth segment—fueled by being available on the YouTube TV app.
