Amazon is reportedly cutting staff from its Wondery podcast team, signaling a shift in strategy towards video content. This move comes five years after Apple reportedly considered acquiring Wondery for $400 million. At the time, podcasting was a hot market with companies like Spotify investing heavily. Amazon's decision suggests a re-evaluation of its podcasting strategy and a greater emphasis on video, potentially to compete with platforms like YouTube and TikTok. The layoffs raise questions about the future of Wondery and Amazon's overall commitment to the podcasting space.
