Travis and Jason Kelce Take Podcast to ‘New Heights’ With Wondery Deal
Jason and Travis Kelce’s New Heights is heading to Wondery. On Tuesday, the Amazon-owned podcast company revealed that they struck a three-year deal with the NFL bros over their podcast, giving the Wondery advertising sales and distribution rights. A source tells Rolling Stone the deal was worth around nine figures.
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of New Heights,” Travis and Jason Kelce said in a press release about the podcast. “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!”

“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!”
The show’s next podcast episode is slated to drop on Wednesday. The deal is set to include the podcast’s back catalog and will allow Wondery to monetize and distribute audio and video episodes of the first two seasons. (New Heights won Podcast of the Year at the 2024 iHeartPodcast Awards.)
“The tremendous growth of New Heights over the past few years is a testament to the talent and dedication that Travis and Jason – as well as the fantastic team behind the scenes – continue to pour into every episode,” said Aaron Eanes, Travis’ manager, who helped secure the Wondery deal. “We are excited to partner with Wondery for this new chapter of the podcast and look forward to reaching new heights.”
The show features the two brothers talking about their lives off and on the field, and also features special celebrity guests. It also served as the first place where Travis Kelce opened up about his relationship with Taylor Swift last summer.
“‘New Heights’ on the surface is a sports podcast, and sports is such a well-listened-to category,” Wondery CEO Jen Sargent said in a statement. “But it’s become a cultural phenomenon — they’re in that cultural zeitgeist.”
