Jay Shetty is everywhere—and soon, he’ll be on Netflix!
The 38-year-old author and former monk’s podcast “On Purpose” will start streaming as a video podcast on Netflix and Spotify starting July 13, reportedly as part of a $100 million deal. Shetty left iHeartPodcast on the iHeartPodcast Network after three years there because of a disagreement over terms, Variety reports.
Once July 13 rolls around, the pod's full-length episodes featuring influential folks discussing culture, wellness and personal growth will no longer be uploaded to YouTube, but you'll still be able to listen to them on Spotify and Apple Podcasts. To watch them as videos, you'll need to go to Netflix.
Coming up, interviews will include Millie Bobby Brown, Keke Palmer, Jake Shane, Karl-Anthony Towns, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Amen, Camila Mendes and Lucy Hale.
His in-depth conversations with people like Michelle Obama and Mel Robbins have helped “On Purpose” top the podcast charts with over 1 billion listens to date since it launched seven years ago. You’ve probably seen clips from his podcast on TikTok in particular.
“This is a historic moment, not just for On Purpose but for podcasting itself,” Shetty tells Tudum. “We’re entering a new era where interviews can impact culture as powerfully as movies, music, and television on the global stage. I would never have believed when I started the podcast just seven years ago this would happen.”
Watch a trailer to see what to expect when the podcast hits Netflix on July 13.
