TL;DR
- Amazon has shut down the Wondery podcast app and ended the Wondery+ subscription service.
- The Wondery podcast studio will continue to publish Wondery-branded podcasts.
- Audible’s Standard and Premium subscriptions both include ad-free listening for Wondery podcasts.
This spring, Amazon announced that its Wondery podcast service, both the Wondery app and the Wondery+ premium subscription, would be shutting down sometime this year. The day’s finally come: the Wondery app is no longer available, though podcasts published by Wondery are still available on other platforms.
Amazon quietly confirmed the app’s retirement in an update to a previous blog post today. Wondery will still operate as a podcast studio, Amazon says, continuing to publish shows like Armchair Expert and New Heights.
