Bill Simmons Signs New Contract at Spotify
Bill Simmons will remain as head of talk strategy at Spotify after reupping his contract there.
The podcast host and executive joined Spotify in 2020, after the company bought his website and podcast company, The Ringer. That podcast network now includes over 50 popular podcasts, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, The Rewatchables and The Ryen Russillo Podcast.
Simmons will report to the new head of podcast business, Roman Wasenmüller.
“Spotify is one of the best content companies in the world,” he said. “I’ve been in enough work situations at this point that you just kinda know when you’re in the right spot. I think all of us are motivated to do something pretty special in the talk and video space.”
The company notes that The Ringer has been adding video episodes to the majority of its podcast titles, as Spotify now views video as a larger part of its platform.
