Patreon is making a bold move in the podcasting world by partnering with Sony Music Entertainment and Amazon’s Wondery. Announced on Wednesday, this collaboration aims to provide fans with exclusive perks and deeper engagement, further positioning Patreon as a leading platform for premium content.
The deal means that some of the most recognized podcasts from these networks will now be available on Patreon, helping it stand out among competing platforms. For Sony Music and Wondery, the partnership provides an opportunity to widen their audience and bring their content to even more listeners.
Patreon’s new lineup will include fan-favorite shows such as Sony Music’s “Getting Better with Jonathan Van Ness,” “Lipstick on the Rim,” and “This Is History.” Wondery will offer popular titles like “Scamfluencers,” “Killer Psyche,” and “Kurt Krömer – Feelings.”
Podcasting has become a major revenue driver for Patreon. Last year, podcasters on the platform earned over $472 million through 6.7 million paid memberships, making it the most lucrative category for creators.
In a blog post, Patreon emphasized why podcasters continue to choose its platform. Beyond just revenue, creators can connect directly with their audience, manage their businesses effectively, and grow their communities—all within a single ecosystem.
Looking ahead, Patreon plans to expand its podcasting roster with even more high-profile partnerships, reinforcing its commitment to becoming the go-to hub for creators and listeners alike.
