Raedio Strikes Worldwide Multi-Project Deal with Audible

Audible today announced a worldwide exclusive multi-project development deal with Raedio, an audio everywhere company founded by award-winning actor, producer and New York Times best selling author Issa Rae (Insecure). Raedio and Audible will collaborate on Audible Original podcasts from a variety of audio genres including scripted comedy, audio extensions of existing content, and entertainment-based nonfiction projects.

“We’ve had tremendous success with scripted podcasts over the years and with our Audible collaboration we’re excited to bring fresh, original content to Audible listeners everywhere,” said Benoni Tagoe, President of Raedio. “Our goal is to continue to supply the audio pipeline from music to storytelling as an audio everywhere company.”

This deal quickly follows Audible’s recently announced production and development deals with top creatives such as Kenya Barris’ Khalabo Ink Society, Laura Dern and Jayme Lemons’ Jaywalker Pictures, Stephen Curry’s Unanimous Media, Kevin Hart’s HartBeat Productions, and The SpringHill Company, founded by LeBron James and Maverick Carter.

Zola Mashariki, Head of Audible Studios commented, “At Audible, we are committed to working with innovative voices that move and influence culture—this goal is fully realized and met by Raedio. We are thrilled to be in business with Issa and Benoni who consistently create extraordinarily rich content defined by character driven storytelling.”

Projects produced via this new exclusive deal will join a series of best-in-class Audible Originals including recent releases like the #1 New York Times best-selling audio fiction The Sandman from Neil Gaiman, performed by James McAvoy, Kat Dennings, Michael Sheen and a full cast; the highly anticipated sequel The Sandman: Act II; Hot White Heist, a unique scripted comedy from Broadway Video; Tariq Trotter’s 7 Years, the prolific rapper’s intimate journey examining his life and career in dynamic seven-year increments; My Body, My Podcast, an open space for all things sex and sexuality, created and hosted by Elizabeth Banks; Beginner’s Mind written and performed by Yo-Yo Ma, Coupledom with Idris and Sabrina Elba featuring unguarded conversations from some of the world’s most interesting duos; and James Patterson’s The Coldest Case starring Aaron Paul, among many more.
