Thanks to the internet and a wide array of recording methods, new podcasts pop up on a daily basis. There is something for everyone to listen to: shows about music, sports, politics, pop culture etc. And for every new idea that is turned into a show, a multitude of others are being developed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One type of podcast that has become especially popular over the years is the format of <strong>scripted podcasts<\/strong>. Much in the same way that <strong>radio dramas <\/strong>were popular during the 1930&#8217;s and 1940&#8217;s, scripted podcasts are programs that tell stories. Whether it is with original ideas or existing media, these shows have reignited a boom for &#8220;theatre of the mind.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/developer.spotify.com\/assets\/branding-guidelines\/logo@2x.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it is time for <strong>Spotify<\/strong> to jump on the scripted show train. The music streaming giant has brokered a deal with <strong>Warner Bros<\/strong>. and <strong>DC Entertainment<\/strong> that will be bringing beloved characters from across various Warner Bros. properties and franchises into everyone&#8217;s homes and earbuds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static3.srcdn.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/DC-Comics-Logo.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This multiyear contract will allow Spotify exclusive licensing on the various projects for a limited time and first-look rights to shows based on DC&#8217;s stable of iconic heroes and villains. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While details about when the shows will launch are unavailable at the moment, listeners can expect a variety of original stories centered in the <strong>DC Universe<\/strong> that are unrelated to current movies and TV shows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2020\/digital\/news\/spotify-warner-bros-dc-superheroes-podcasts-1234641401\/#article-comments\"><strong>Variety<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nSpotify and Warner Bros\/DC Entertainment broker a deal on original scripted podcasts.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=25277\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Spotify Teams up with DC to Produce Scripted Podcasts&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":88,"featured_media":25322,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[23,813,13],"tags":[194,196,2949,2947,2344,2948],"class_list":["post-25277","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-comics-2","category-entertainment","category-podcasts","tag-dc","tag-dc-comics","tag-original-content","tag-scripted-podcasts","tag-spotify","tag-theater-of-the-mind","entry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Spotify Teams up with DC to Produce Scripted Podcasts - The Cultured Nerd<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/theculturednerd.org\/?p=25277\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Spotify Teams up with DC to Produce Scripted Podcasts - The Cultured Nerd\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Spotify and Warner Bros\/DC Entertainment broker a deal on original scripted podcasts.
