Disney+, Hulu, iHeartMedia Team Up for Video Podcasts
Disney+ and Hulu have partnered with iHeartMedia to bring six video podcasts to their platforms. The deal includes Hey Jonas!, which will start streaming on Disney+ on August 14, as well as other titles such as Desperately Devoted, Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald, StraightioLab, and Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim.
The video podcasts will be available on both platforms, with some titles exclusive to Hulu and others available for bundle subscribers in the U.S. New episodes will stream weekly across all podcasts.
Desperately Devoted will begin streaming with video on November 2, diving deeper into the classic series 'Desperate Housewives' with actress Teri Hatcher and her co-stars. Fans of 'Scrubs' can revisit each episode of the series alongside co-stars Zach Braff and Donald Faison in Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald.
The podcasts will also include Pod Meets World, which streams on Disney+ on August 24, and StraightioLab and Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim, which stream on Hulu in the fall. Lauren Tempest, head of content planning & partnerships, DTC at The Walt Disney Co., said 'These new video podcasts from iHeartMedia bring fans closer to their favorite worlds and the creators behind them.'
