Production company Shondaland has signed a deal with iHeartRadio to launch a series of podcasts under the new division Shondaland Audio. Created by Grey’s Anatomy showrunner Shonda Rhimes, Shondaland Audio will release a slate of original podcasting content covering a variety of topics. The deal will extend over three years.
This won’t be the first time that Rhimes has dabbled in the podcasting world. Katie’s Crib is a podcast about motherhood sponsored by Rhimes and actress Katie Lowes. The new partnership will bring even more episodes of Katie’s Crib.
Rhimes released a statement about the new partnership:
“Podcasting continues to see tremendous growth and I’m excited to partner with iHeartMedia as Shondaland expands its storytelling journey into this medium which has seemed to usher in a unique sense of boldness, intimacy and connection. With iHeartMedia we aim to share stories that are engaging, insightful, and reflect a robust world-view while staying true to the authentic storytelling voice that has become synonymous with Shondaland.”
