Now this is some new news.
Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce signed a new deal for their New Heights podcast with Amazon’s Wondery. The agreement will run for three years, and is worth over $100 million, multiple outlets reported.
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights,” the Kelce brothers said in a statement Aug. 27, per Variety. “We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to ‘New Heights!’”
The football players continued, nodding toward their show’s third season, which will kick off around the start of NFL season.
“We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership,” the brothers added. “We are thrilled to start Season 3—see you soon, 92%ers!”
Travis and Jason’s podcast—which first debuted in 2022 and details their experiences as NFL players on and off the field—will continue to stream across platforms, but Wondery will have exclusive distribution rights starting Aug. 28.
The show’s backlogged content will be moved under the umbrella of Wondery, with the company also being given the rights to create international audio adaptations of the show.
The deal will include ad-free listening to users who subscribe to Wondery+, as well as the rights to create new merchandise for the podcast. In a statement to Variety, Wondery CEO Jen Sargent lauded New Heights as a “well-listened” sports podcast, as well as a “cultural phenomenon.”
As she put it, “They’re in that cultural zeitgeist.”
E! News has reached out to Wondery and reps for Jason and Travis, but has not yet heard back.
Indeed, New Heights gained a heap of new listeners last July, when Travis used an episode to shoot his shot with now-girlfriend Taylor Swift after she turned down meeting him at a Kansas City Eras Tour show.
“I was disappointed that she doesn't talk before or after her shows because she has to save her voice for the 44 songs that she sings,” he explained on a July 2023 episode. “I was a little butt-hurt I didn't get to hand her one of the bracelets I made for her.”
The Kansas City Chiefs player went on to tell his brother, a former Philadelphia Eagles center, that he’d planned to give Taylor his phone number through the gesture. And while the concert meet-cute didn’t go in his favor, it did start a chain reaction of counter moves for getting him in touch with the “Karma” singer.
“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” Taylor told TIME in December 2023. “We started hanging out right after that.”
Ever since, Travis and Jason’s podcast has been a trusted source for Swifties during the couple’s year-long relationship, but Travis has made it clear he can only reveal so much to the 92 percenters.
“What's real is that it is my personal life and I want to respect both of our lives,” he said after he and Taylor made their relationship debut last September. “She's not in the media as much as I am doing this show every single week and having fun during the NFL season on other guys' shows. Everything moving forward, I think me talking about sports and saying ‘Alright nah' will have to be where I keep it.”
