Video versions of some of Lemonada Media’s most popular podcasts—including ones featuring Hasan Minhaj and Mandy Patinkin—are being made available to CNN’s streaming subscribers.
“The rapid growth of video podcasts underscores the appetite for smart, personality-driven nonfiction content—an area where CNN has long been a leader,” said Amy Entelis, executive VP of talent at CNN Originals and creative development for CNN Worldwide. “This collaboration with Lemonada builds on that strength, enabling us to scale thoughtfully, expand into new verticals, and meet audiences where they are increasingly watching.”
Stephanie Wittels Wachs, Lemonada CEO, called the deal an “exciting next chapter” for the podcasting powerhouse.
“As demand for video podcasts continues to grow, we’re thrilled to bring our standout slate of video content to new audiences and broaden access for existing fans.”
New weekly video episodes and select library episodes from Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know, Don’t Listen to Us with Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody, Alive with Steve Burns and The Dan Buettner Podcast are now available to CNN’s streaming subscribers.
