The New Heights podcast is really going to new heights after the latest report.
Jason and Travis Kelce signed a new three-year deal with Amazon's Wondery worth more than $100 million, Variety reports.
Wondery will have exclusive ad-sales and distribution rights to the podcast.
“We couldn’t be more excited to team up with Wondery for the next phase of ‘New Heights,’” the Kelce brothers said in a statement (via Variety). “We love this show, and the fanbase that has grown with us over the last two seasons. Wondery understands the shared vision and will offer a wealth of experience and resources to take us to ‘New Heights’! We are going to create some groundbreaking moments together through this partnership. We are thrilled to start Season 3 — see you soon, 92%ers!”
The New Heights podcast has become increasingly popular over the past year, with a whole new fan base tuning in each and every week.
The Kelce's saw viewership skyrocket after Travis' relationship with Taylor Swift became public. Swifties across the world were tuning in, hoping that the Kansas City Chiefs tight end would provide even the smallest glimpse into his relationship with the singer.
So with that, they aimed to talk about more than just football, adding new segments about the new events and activities in their life with the increased attention. However, they do want to make sure that they show how much they appreciate everyone who has tuned in from the first show.
But the two took a moment to speak about Swift's impact during an episode in July.
"Now it's really expanded," Jason said. "It's been fun for me; I have three little girls, so in some ways, the show and everything that's transpired over the past year has given reasons for girls to get involved in a sport where previously there wasn't that much interest.
"So all of a sudden, dads are hanging out with daughters, and there's worlds colliding, and our show gets to be another place where worlds collide, and it's awesome."
Travis echoed Jason's sentiments.
“You've gotta listen to your viewers, you have to listen to the comments and your demographic, and see who you're talking to,” the Chiefs tight end said.
The brothers took some time off from their popular podcast this summer, but it is set to return when the NFL season kicks off in two weeks.
