Marvel To Produce New Podcasts For SiriusXM, Pandora

Podcasts

MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT will produce original exclusive podcasts for SIRIUSXM and PANDORA under a new multi-year deal that will see both scripted and unscripted series on the platforms starting in 2020, plus themed live events. Four new scripted series will be based on each of the characters of Wolverine, Hawkeye, Black Widow, and Star-Lord, and another will team the four up, while unscripted podcasts will cover MARVEL's history and will offer talk and interviews about MARVEL. The companies previously partnered on a limited run SIRIUSXM channel in AUGUST devoted to MARVEL's 80th anniversary and the MARVEL Comics #1000 issue.

"Powerful stories are read, seen, and heard -- and we believe audio is the next natural step to bring the MARVEL Universe to fans around the world," said MARVEL ENTERTAINMENT Pres. DAN BUCKLEY. "Storytelling has always been at the heart of MARVEL's success, and SIRIUSXM and PANDORA have the right platform and expertise to bring MARVEL's rich tapestry of stories to listeners in a whole new way. We are excited to introduce an impressive roster of programming with SIRIUSXM and PANDORA, and we can't wait to share more details in the weeks and months to come."

"Whether in movies, TV or other media, MARVEL has been a success everywhere it goes, employing a level of quality and pop culture brilliance that organically draws massive audiences, and they are bringing that creative genius to SIRIUSXM and PANDORA," said SIRIUSXM Pres./Chief Content Officer SCOTT GREENSTEIN. "We chose MARVEL for our first major foray into creating original podcasts, and are thrilled to have MARVEL create new audio programming and curate top quality podcasts for SIRIUSXM and PANDORA. Under our new creative collaboration with MARVEL, we'll now provide our subscribers and listeners and MARVEL fans a breadth and depth of podcasts that will be an immersive adventure into the iconic MARVEL universe."
