Amazon slashes Wondery podcast team as focus shifts to video, five years after Apple’s $400M interest

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-20 11:56:20

Five years ago, Apple reportedly considered acquiring podcast studio Wondery for around $400 million. At the time, Spotify and other companies were spending millions on putting podcasts behind paywalls to boost their businesses and steal mindshare from Apple. Ultimately, Wondery went to Amazon. For its part, Apple redefined “subscribing” to a podcast to mean paying a monthly fee for member-supported perks.

Elon Musk says he’s bringing back Vine’s archive

Elon Musk says he’s bringing back Vine — sort of. The X owner announced over the weekend that the company discovered the video archive for the popular short-form video app, thought to have been deleted, and is working to restore user access. Vine — something of a precursor to today’s TikTok, but with only 6-second-long looping videos — was acquired by Twitter back in October 2012 for $30 million to expand the social media platform’s video ambitions.

While the tool has always made it straightforward to add apps to the profile, adding files has been less intuitive.
