A unifying theory of the podcast sound.
Our friends over at Switched on Pop just did a fun episode about the history of the way podcasts sound. The Grateful Dead is in there, as is the infamous Breakmaster Cylinder, who wrote the theme for every podcast ever. Including ours! It's fascinating — and a good combo listen with this Vergecast episode from last year. It also might have ruined podcast jingles for me, forever. All podcast themes sound the same — why?

Amazon Is Laying Off Wondery Staff as It Rethinks Its Podcast Business
Amazon is reportedly laying off more than 100 employees as it overhauls its podcast business amid major shifts in the industry. Bloomberg first reported on Monday that Amazon is laying off about 110 staff from its Wondery podcast studio and shifting some shows to Audible, its other audio-focused subsidiary. As part of the shake-up, Wondery CEO Jen Sargent is leaving the company. The reorganization comes as the podcast industry faces its own 'video killed the radio star' moment, with creator-led, video-based shows surging in popularity and thus being more monetizable. The e-commerce giant sent Gizmodo the following statement about the changes: The podcast landscape has evolved significantly in the past few years, particularly with the rise of video-forward, creator-led content. These changes reflect that evolution and will streamline how Wondery integrates further into Amazon. By making these changes, we can better support creators in monetizing their content across multiple channels, help them expand their brand IP, and simplify the process for advertisers while making content more accessible to audiences wherever they prefer to consume it. This evolution builds on Wondery's early success with video-forward shows and positions us to better serve creators, customers, and advertisers. In a memo to staff obtained by Deadline, Steve Boom, Amazon's vice president of audio, Twitch, and games, said the rise of video podcasting has created 'different audience needs' and requires 'distinct discovery, growth, and monetization strategies' compared to traditional audio-only narrative podcasts. In the letter, Boom said that Amazon is reorganizing Wondery with its narrative podcasts like Dr. Death and Business Wars moving to Audible. The studio's chief content officer, Marshall Lewy, will also be headed to Audible. For Wondery's creator-led shows like Dax Shepard's Armchair Expert and Jason and Travis Kelce's New Heights, a new Creator Services team under Amazon's Talent Services division will be taking over. This team will continue operating the creator-focused podcast studio under the Wondery brand, working closely with a select group of top creators to expand their audiences and deepen their partnership with Amazon. Bloomberg highlighted LeBron James, who hosts the podcast Mind the Game and has served as a Prime Day spokesperson, as a blueprint for this new approach. Amazon originally acquired Wondery in 2021 for about $300 million, according to media reports. At its peak, the studio saw some of its hit podcasts like Dirty John adapted into TV shows. But Amazon isn't the only company that has poured big money into podcasting. Last year, Spotify reportedly signed a $250 million deal to continue managing sponsorships for Joe Rogan's podcast. Meanwhile, SiriusXM paid $125 million to poach Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast from Spotify. As competition has increased in the industry, there have already been some losers too. In June, Audacy, the radio giant owned by a group led by Soros Fund Management, shut down its podcast-focused Pineapple Street Studios. Public media is also facing challenges. The Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), which helps fund National Public Radio (NPR), a pioneer in podcasting, is set to wind down operations and lay off most of its staff by September 30. This move comes as President Donald Trump has cut the nonprofit's funding.

Amazon denies report it's shutting down Wondery podcast studio
Amazon is denying that it's shutting down Wondery, the podcast studio it acquired in late 2020, after Bloomberg reported on Monday that the company was closing the studio and cutting 110 jobs. Amazon told TechCrunch that Wondery will continue to develop creator-led podcasts under the Wondery brand within a new team. What's changing is that the company is separating the teams that oversee Wondery's narrative podcast efforts from those developing its creator-led shows. Wondery is combining its narrative podcast studio, which includes podcasts like Dr. Death and American Scandal, with Audible. 'The podcast landscape has evolved significantly in the past few years, particularly with the rise of video-forward, creator-led content,' Amazon said in an emailed statement. 'These changes reflect that evolution and will streamline how Wondery integrates further into Amazon. By making these changes, we can better support creators in monetizing their content across multiple channels, help them expand their brand IP, and simplify the process for advertisers while making content more accessible to audiences wherever they prefer to consume it. This evolution builds on Wondery's early success with video-forward shows and positions us to better serve creators, customers, and advertisers.' Despite securing big names in the business, the company is now shifting its strategy in an effort to better compete with rivals like Spotify and YouTube as the podcasting industry embraces video formats. Update: The article was updated to reflect that Amazon denied reports of Wondery shutting down.

See Trey Anastasio Perform ‘Scarlet Begonias' and ‘Fire on the Mountain' With Dead and Co
Dead and Co. wrapped up their three-day celebration of the Grateful Dead's 60th anniversary Sunday evening at San Francisco's Golden Gate Park with an epic set that included 'Shakedown Street,' 'Sugar Magnolia,' 'Cumberland Blues,' and 'Standing on the Moon.' The Trey Anastasio Band served as the warm-up act, and the Phish frontman came out during the start of Dead and Co's set to join them on 'Scarlet Begonias' and 'Fire on the Mountain.' It was a moment of jam band bliss with the two songs stretching out for roughly 15 minutes each. More from Rolling Stone See Sturgill Simpson Join Dead and Company for 'Morning Dew' at GD 60 See Dead and Company Perform 'Box of Rain' With Phil Lesh's Son Grahame at Dead 60 Show Dead & Company's San Francisco Livestream: How to Watch the Golden Gate Park Concerts Online Anastasio is a lifelong Deadhead. 'Every once in a while, there's a titanic American musician that comes through the ether,' he told Rolling Stone in July 2024, 'whether it be Louis Armstrong or James Brown. I mean, James Brown had a great band, too. And Jerry had a great band. We were lucky we got to experience that genius of American music in Jerry. We now get to sing his songs. Everybody gets to sing his songs.' When the Dead reconvened in 2015 to commemorate their 50th anniversary at a series of stadium shows, they recruited Anastasio to front the band. 'In my opinion, Jerry was one of the great American singers,' he told Rolling Stone's David Fricke that year. 'Those post-Jerry configurations [of the Dead] – that's always been the issue. I don't think anybody can be Jerry's voice.' 'My thought is, I love Jerry's voice, and I love these songs,' he continued. 'I'm happy to joyously sing whatever comes my way. But my take on it is that everybody sings – the audience too. They'll sing. We'll sing. Everybody knows the words. People have such lifelong relationships to these songs. When I say I'm providing a service – it's to the songs, the memories, the community.' Just months after the 50th anniversary shows, Bob Weir, Micky Hart, and Bill Kreutzmann formed Dead and Co. with John Mayer. They staged a farewell tour in the summer of 2023, but came back together last year for a residency at the Sphere. There was another run of Sphere shows earlier this year. There were early conversations about bringing Phil Lesh into the fold for the 60th anniversary shows. When he died in October 2024, Weir questioned whether it made sense to even have the concerts. 'I wouldn't put anybody in his place, so it would be a trio at this point,' Weir told Rolling Stone's Angie Martoccio in March. 'It'd be me and two drummers. I'd have to think about that.' The shows ultimately went forward with the current lineup of Dead and Co., though Lesh's son, Grahame Lesh, joined them at various points all three nights to represent his father. Kreutzmann, who has battled health problems in recent years and left Dead and Co. in 2023, wasn't there. There are no more Dead and Co. shows on the books, but Weir is confident the music of the Dead will carry on even after he's gone. 'I have no doubt about that,' he told Rolling Stone in March. 'What I'm trying to do is get my concerto project to the point where that is self-sustaining, and then I would probably want other folks to step in when I'm no longer here, and Wolf Bros. is a different deal. That whole thing is constructed so that anyone can step in and do it.'
