Wondery Inks Global First-Look Deal with Campside Media
RADIO ONLINE | Thursday, March 7, 2024 |
Podcast studio Wondery has announced an audio first-look deal with Campside Media, a podcast production company known for its journalistic storytelling. Under the multi-project commitment, Wondery and Campside will produce Limited Series podcasts, including non-English language titles, to be distributed by Wondery globally. The two are strategically aligning to create podcasts that serve as the building blocks for television and film adaptations.
Building further on the relationship, Wondery and Campside have collaborated previously, including three seasons of "Suspect" with the fourth season coming later this year, "Sports Explains The World" from Wondery and Meadowlark, and Campside co-founder Matt Shaer reporting and hosting Wondery's "Over My Dead Body." Currently, "Suspect" is being developed as a TV series at Amazon MGM Studios with Wondery and Campside Media producing.
"We have worked with Campside on several projects, including 'Suspect,' and I'm honored we're expanding our collaboration with them," said Wondery Chief Content Officer Marshall Lewy. "Their instinct for fascinating stories and excellence in journalism fits perfectly with Wondery's commitment to delivering captivating narratives to audiences worldwide. I am particularly thrilled that this partnership includes global investigative series, and it marks a big milestone as we continue to bring the most bingeable, groundbreaking and thought-provoking series we can to our listeners."
"Marshall Lewy and George Lavender, now Wondery's Head of Creative Production, were my introduction to audio -- they helped teach me how to make a successful narrative podcast," commented Campside Media co-founder Matt Shaer. "This deal feels like a genuine full circle moment: From those early days of the medium, to collaborating on the 'Suspect' franchise, and now working in partnership on a broad new range of shows. As a creator, I can't think of a better home for Campside's work than Wondery."
