Netflix Delves into Podcasting with Pete Davidson and Michael Irvin

Netflix is expanding its content offerings with two new video podcasts hosted by Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson and NFL commentator and former star Michael Irvin. Their shows, “The Pete Davidson Show” and “The White House,” will premiere on the streaming service in January. Davidson’s podcast will debut on January 30th, while Irvin’s show will hit Netflix on January 19th. The two podcasts join a growing collection of video podcasts licensed by Netflix from Spotify, iHeartMedia, and Barstool Sports, including popular titles like “My Favorite Murder,” “The Bill Simmons Podcast,” and “Pardon My Take.” As part of these deals, the licensed shows will not be available in full on YouTube, a shift that reflects Netflix’s efforts to maintain exclusivity for its content.
