Travis and Jason Kelce have signed a major podcast contract. The deal is expected to earn them $100 million.
Travis (34) and Jason Kelce (36) have landed a podcast deal that is set to earn the brothers 100 million US dollars (around 90 million euros). The contract with Amazon’s podcast studio “Wondery”, which Amazon calls “Wondery”, is set to run for three years, citing an insider.
“We love this show and the fan base”
“We couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with ‘Wondery’ for the next phase of New Heights,” the football siblings said in a statement. “We love this show and the fan base that has grown with us over the past two seasons,” the hosts enthused. The partnership will “take them to new heights” and give them “some groundbreaking moments,” they said. “We’re excited to launch Season 3,” they announced.
The “Wondery” CEO praised the two for providing listeners and viewers with “unprecedented insider access to the NFL season and professional sports.” The podcast also includes “funny, relevant commentary and interviews.” According to Amazon’s announcement, the deal secures “Wondery” exclusive rights to the weekly podcast. According to “Variety,” the network will have sole distribution rights to all episodes, including all previous episodes, from August 28. “Wondery” may also produce international audio adaptations.
Already a popular podcast
NFL star Travis Kelce is not only successful on the field, as one showed. According to the data, “New Heights” was the fourth most listened to podcast in the first quarter in the USA. The deal could help them to make an international breakthrough. Even without the agreement, he was doing well as a tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs: his contract extension until 2027 is said to be worth just under 34 million US dollars, the equivalent of around 31 million euros.
