CNN has announced a new partnership with independent podcast network Lemonada Media to bring a curated slate of video podcasts to its All Access streaming service, reflecting the continued growth of video podcasting as a popular format for audiences.
Under the deal, CNN’s streaming subscribers can now watch video versions of some of Lemonada’s most compelling shows on demand via the CNN app, connected TV platforms, and CNN.com.
Featured titles include Hasan Minhaj Doesn’t Know, the insightful and humorous interview series hosted by Hasan Minhaj; Alive with Steve Burns, a show exploring deep life questions; The Dan Buettner Podcast, focused on wellness and longevity; and Since You Asked with Lori Gottlieb and Gretchen Rubin, a thoughtful weekly dialogue about everyday dilemmas.
CNN’s executive vice president for talent and creative development, Amy Entelis, highlighted that the collaboration builds on both organizations’ strength in storytelling and acknowledges strong viewer interest in personality-driven video nonfiction. Lemonada’s CEO Stephanie Wittels Wachs echoed this enthusiasm, noting the partnership will broaden access to Lemonada’s innovative content.
This move aligns with CNN’s broader strategy to expand its direct-to-consumer streaming offerings as part of its All Access tier, launched to provide a single destination for live channels, on-demand video, and original programming. Lemonada Media, founded in 2019 and recognized for its mission-driven audio-first storytelling and award-winning series, has increasingly leaned into video formats and continues to grow under new ownership after its acquisition by PodX Group in 2025.
By blending CNN’s streaming infrastructure with Lemonada’s creative voice, the partnership aims to meet the evolving needs of audiences who seek engaging video content on flexible digital platforms.
