Amazon overhauls Wondery podcast studio, cuts 110 jobs
(Reuters) - is restructuring the Wondery podcast studio by shifting its award-winning narrative podcasts such as "Business Wars" to Audible and consolidating creator-led shows into a new unit, according to a memo seen by Reuters. About 110 employees will be laid off as part of the process, while many Wondery employees will transition to other parts of Amazon, the company said in an emailed statement on Monday. Wondery CEO Jen Sargent will depart the company following a transition period, the memo said. Intense competition in the expensive podcast industry as well as a growing focus on creator-led video content have prompted audio streaming companies including Spotify to diversify their podcasts as they look to lower costs and attract more users to their platforms. "As video podcasting has grown in popularity, we have learned that creator-led, video-integrated shows have different audience needs and require distinct discovery, growth and monetization strategies compared to audio-first, narrative series," Steve Boom, vice president of audio, Twitch and games at Amazon, wrote in the memo. Wondery was acquired by Amazon in 2021 and has seen podcast revenue quadruple since then as the studio expanded its slate to include video podcasts and creator-driven series, according to the memo. Under the new structure, Wondery's narrative podcast studio - home to shows such as "Dr. Death" and "American Scandal" - along with the Wondery+ subscription service, will move to Audible, the e-commerce giant's audio platform. Its creator-focused podcast team that produces shows including "Mind the Game", "New Heights", and "Armchair Expert" will join a new Creator Services group within Amazon's Talent Services division. This new team will continue to operate the creator-focused podcast studio under the Wondery brand. "By making these changes, we can better support creators in monetizing their content across multiple channels," Amazon said. Bloomberg News first reported on the Wondery overhaul.

Meet the man with the official ‘world's best beard' — it's so big he struggles to eat
Meet the man with the world's best beard — who was crowned best in show at the World Beard and Moustache Championships – thanks to his 11-inch bushy black mane. Trevor Mustafa, 44, has been recognized for his impressive facial hair — which he decided to grow out 'no matter what society said.' Trevor began growing his current beard in February 2023 — before emerging victorious in the best in show category in July. Although living with such an unruly beard presents daily challenges, Trevor says he embraces it as a symbol of self-expression and plans to continue competing. 6 Trevor Mustafa, 44, has been recognized for his impressive facial hair – which he decided to grow out 'no matter what society said.' Trevor Mustafa / SWNS Trevor, a maintenance worker for a post office, from Sacramento, California, said: 'I've been growing my beard out pretty much for about 12 years, occasionally cutting it all off and starting over again. 'But I've been heavily bearded like I am now for about 12 years.' His journey to beard competition glory began unexpectedly after receiving encouragement from admirers both in person and online. 'I was growing the beard out and getting a lot of compliments in person, and then I'd post pictures online and people would tell me 'oh, you should compete',' he said. 6 Mustafa, from Sacramento, California, said, 'I've been growing my beard out pretty much for about 12 years, occasionally cutting it all off and starting over again. Trevor Mustafa / SWNS It led him to enter three Great American Beard and Moustache Championships in 2018, 2022, and 2024 – where he secured first place each time. But the 2025 World Championship represented a significant step up in competition. 'When I went to the world championship, I had a feeling I would do well, but I didn't know if I would win first place, and I certainly didn't expect to win Best in Show,' Trevor said. 'It was a complete surprise.' 6 Mustafa one first place in the Great American Beard and Moustache Championships in 2018, 2022, and 2024. Trevor Mustafa / SWNS His award-winning beard – now approximately 11 inches long — requires dedicated maintenance to keep it in tip top condition. His daily routine includes minimal brushing and application of beard oil, while his weekly regimen is more intensive. 'Weekly, I give it a deep conditioning with a hair mask,' he said. 'When I get out of the shower, I use a blow dryer on medium heat to dry my beard first, then apply beard products before combing through with my detangling brush.' Trevor swears by a Crave natural detangling brush, which he describes as 'about $10 off Amazon' – noting it allows him to 'comb through my beard with little to no damage or hair loss'. Maintaining such an impressive beard comes with unique challenges, particularly when it comes to dining. 'Eating is a real challenge. I can't eat ice cream, I can't eat soup — pretty much almost anything – just because of how thick and wide my beard is,' he said. 'I've had to learn to take soft first bites because there's been more than a few times where I've swallowed my beard and been choking myself on it. 6 Maintaining such an impressive beard comes with unique challenges, particularly when it comes to dining, Mustafa said. Trevor Mustafa / SWNS 'I kept thinking that has to be the most ridiculous way to die.' Beyond the practical challenges, Trevor acknowledges that sporting such distinctive facial hair can affect social interactions. 'It's not just a beard, but it's a big beard, so it pushes away people that don't like facial hair to begin with,' Trevor said. 'But I'm the kind of person who kind of likes having that filter. I don't judge people based on their looks, and I prefer to be treated that way too. 6 'Eating is a real challenge. I can't eat ice cream, I can't eat soup – pretty much almost anything – just because of how thick and wide my beard is,' he said. Trevor Mustafa / SWNS 'So anybody who would judge me based on my looks — it's good for me that we don't interact.' The champion beard-grower is dad to two teenagers — a 16-year-old daughter and a 15-year-old autistic son. His initial beard-growing journey began as a personal statement of autonomy. 'The main inspiration for me was that it was kind of like an exercise,' he said. 6 Beyond the practical challenges, Mustafa acknowledges that sporting such distinctive facial hair can affect social interactions. Trevor Mustafa / SWNS 'I wanted to decide what I was going to look like, no matter what society said.' Following his world championship victory, he plans to continue competing, with his next event scheduled for Los Angeles at the end of August. 'I feel like it's a good omen for my beard to win first place and best in show,' he said. 'So maybe I should keep going.'

Amazon cuts some Wondery podcast jobs as part of reorganization of audio business
Amazon is terminating some positions in its Wondery podcast division and the head of the group is leaving as part of a broader reshuffling of the company's audio unit. In a Monday note to staffers, Steve Boom, Amazon's vice president of audio, Twitch and games, said the company is consolidating some Wondery units under its Audible audiobook and podcasting division. Wondery CEO Jen Sargent is also stepping down from her role, Boom said. "These changes will not only better align our teams as they work to take advantage of the strategic opportunities ahead but, even more crucially, will ensure we have the right structure in place to deliver the very best experience to creators, customers and advertisers," Boom wrote in the memo, which was viewed by CNBC. "Unfortunately, these changes also include some role reductions, and we have notified those employees this morning." About 110 employees will be let go as a result of the move, according to Bloomberg, which was first to report on the layoffs. Amazon declined to comment on the scale of the job cuts. The move comes nearly five years after Amazon acquired Wondery as part of a push to expand its catalog of original audio content. The podcasting company made a name for itself with hit shows like "Dirty John" and "Dr. Death." More recently, Wondery signed several lucrative licensing deals with Jason and Travis Kelce's "New Heights" podcast, along with Dax Shepard's "Armchair Expert." Amazon is streamlining "how Wondery further integrates" into the company by separating the teams that oversee its narrative podcasts from those developing "creator-led shows," Boom wrote. The narrative podcasting unit will consolidate under Audible, and creator-led content will move to a new unit within Boom's organization in Amazon called "creator services," he wrote. Amazon's audio pursuits face a heightened challenge from the growing popularity of video podcasts on Alphabet's YouTube, which now hosts an increasing number of shows. Video shows require different discovery, growth and monetization strategies than "audio-first, narrative series," Boom wrote in the memo to Amazon staffers. "The podcast landscape has evolved significantly over the past few years," Boom said.
