Amazon’s Wondery has acquired the rights to host the popular podcast “New Heights” hosted by retired NFL star Jason Kelce and his brother Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs tight end. The podcast has gained traction due to the brothers’ Super Bowl-winning careers and Travis Kelce’s relationship with singer Taylor Swift. The podcast will now be distributed by Wondery and will feature ads sold by the podcast studio. The Kelce brothers expressed excitement about the partnership with Wondery, stating their love for the show and the fanbase that has grown over the past two seasons. The terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Wondery CEO Jen Sargent described “New Heights” as a “hilarious, relevant commentary” with unique insight into the NFL season and professional sports, making it must-listen content for both football fans and Swifties. The podcast followed Jason Kelce’s last season with the Eagles and Travis Kelce’s consecutive Super Bowl wins with the Chiefs, as well as his relationship with Taylor Swift. Travis Kelce used the platform to publicly court Swift, sharing a story on an episode where he attempted to give Swift a friendship bracelet at one of her concerts, although she doesn’t talk before or after shows due to vocal rest.
Despite the initial setback, Travis and Swift eventually met and began a romance, with Swift even attending the Super Bowl in Las Vegas after flying from Tokyo. The third season of “New Heights” is set to launch with the first episode releasing soon, as announced by the brothers. The podcast has grown in popularity due to the Kelce brothers’ success in the NFL and the crossover appeal that Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift brings. The show offers a unique perspective on sports and pop culture, further engaging their fanbase.
The Kelce brothers have used “New Heights” to share personal anecdotes, insights into their careers, and interaction with fans. The podcast has captured the attention of listeners with its humor, relevant commentary, and inside access to the NFL season and professional sports. With Wondery now on board as the distributor and ad sales partner, the Kelce brothers are looking forward to the next phase of their podcast’s journey. The partnership with Wondery is expected to bring added exposure and opportunities for the continued growth of “New Heights.”
Fans of the podcast can expect more entertaining content from the Kelce brothers as they navigate their professional careers, personal lives, and the unique experiences that come with being in the spotlight. As Jason Kelce retired from the NFL and Travis Kelce continues to excel with the Chiefs, listeners will get an inside look into the lives of these well-known athletes. With the added dimension of Travis Kelce’s high-profile relationship with Taylor Swift, “New Heights” is set to captivate a wider audience and further establish itself as a popular podcast in the sports and pop culture genre.
