Spotify is in Talks to Acquire Gimlet
Peter Kafka, reporting for Recode:
Sources say Spotify is in advanced talks to acquire Gimlet, the Brooklyn-based company which produces a network of popular shows and makes shows for advertisers like Gatorade. Gimlet has also been moving into TV production, including a deal that turned Homecoming, which started out as a scripted podcast, into an Amazon TV show starring Julia Roberts.
Podcasting is going big, and it’s good to see Spotify trying to get a piece of that pie.
