Amazon-Owned Wondery+ to Launch on Apple Podcasts Subscriptions
Amazon's podcast subscription service Wondery+ will be available through the Apple Podcasts Subscriptions platform, which launches in over 170 countries later this month, according to a report today from The Hollywood Reporter.
Wondery+ offers dozens of ad-free podcasts, with early access and exclusive episodes for subscribers, making it a natural fit for Apple Podcasts Subscriptions. The report says Wondery+ pricing will be the same through Apple as it is elsewhere, at $4.99 per month or $34.99 per year. Wondery's free, ad-supported podcasts will remain available.
Apple Podcasts Subscriptions will allow users to subscribe to premium podcasts with a variety of benefits, such as ad-free listening, access to additional content, and early or exclusive access to new series. Launch partners will include NPR, the Los Angeles Times, The Athletic, Sony Music Entertainment, and many more, according to Apple.
In late 2020, it was reported that Apple held acquisition talks with Wondery, but Amazon ultimately purchased the company.
Apple Podcasts Subscriptions will likely launch with iOS 14.6.

I gave up trying to get advertisers a long long time ago, and I think my listeners like the idea of not having pre-show, post-show of even in-show ads.
You can't expect people to pay for the podcast, because they are quite ephemeral.
It's seldom I see stats of my podcast, of people listening to show 150, when a podcast is now over into the 1000 mark.
For a long time everything had to have i in front of it. Now everything has to have a + after it. The use of the + symbol has probably increased more the past few years than at any other time in human history.
It’s a good time to be a manufacturer of replacement + keys on keyboards.
