Wondery Signs Overall and First-Look Content Deal with Producer/Host Lindsay Graham and Airship

The leading podcast studio and publisher Wondery announced today a new multi-year deal with podcast producer and host Lindsay Graham and his company Airship. Wondery and Graham have together created two of the most successful history podcasts, American History Tellers and American Scandal, and will now extend that relationship. As part of the new deal, Wondery will also have a first-look at new podcast series created by Graham and his company.

Graham will also contribute to the development, programming and promotion of Wondery’s extension of the History Tellers brand through books, live events, and other offerings. In 2024, HarperCollins published American History Tellers Presents: The Hidden History of the White House.

Lindsay Graham’s American History Tellers, along with his other productions including American Scandal and Business Movers, have been among the top-rated, most listened-to podcasts in their categories, and have been nominated for multiple Ambies. American History Tellers premiered at #1 on the Apple Podcast Charts.

“I’ve been lucky enough to work with Wondery since almost the very beginning,” Graham noted. “For close to a decade, we’ve been on what I feel is a shared mission: educating while entertaining. So it’s exciting to embark on the next leg of that journey with more podcasts, but also entirely new avenues to reach history lovers—and those who don’t yet know they love history, too.”

“Lindsay and Wondery have had a successful collaboration for many years now,” said Marshall Lewy, Chief Content Officer of Wondery. “In that time, Lindsay has become one of the most trusted and beloved voices in podcasting, cultivated fandom, and created a broad slate of shows. It’s been a privilege to work with him and we are looking forward to continuing to grow our history footprint in collaboration with him.”

Graham’s series highlight the broad range of Wondery’s premium content portfolio featuring top titles such as Mind the Game with LeBron James and Steve Nash, Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard and New Heights featuring Jason and Travis Kelce. Spanning across all genres, from true-crime to comedy, business to history, and sports, Wondery’s extensive catalog of high-quality, immersive programming is designed to cultivate fans and community, with the goal of building fandom through audio-first content extensions to video, consumer products, immersive live experiences, and other forms of entertainment, to further the fan experience.
