HBO Max provides scripted tales to its rising podcast library | Engadget

HBO Max has grown its Podcast Program by leaps and bounds over the previous two years increasing from 4 reveals in 2019 to 25 right now, many serving as tie-ins and companion items to HBO’s varied collection. But that can quickly change as the corporate introduced on Wednesday that it plans to broaden its on-line audio choices to incorporate authentic, scripted programming and “look-back” reveals as nicely.

“Our viewers tell us that, more than any other streaming platform, they want to discuss and dissect HBO Max programming with friends and family to extend the emotional experience after finishing an episode,” Joshua Walker, Chief Strategy Officer at HBO Max, said in a statement. He cites Max Podcast followers’ collective funding within the current programming as a driving drive for the corporate’s choice.

The new slate of scripted reveals will embody the extremely anticipated Batman: The Audio Adventures starring Jeffrey Wright and premiering this fall, a look-back at Band of Brothers on September ninth (the present’s twentieth anniversary), and We Stay Looking — a sequel Issa Rae’s Insecure companion present and HBO’s first scripted podcast. HBO can be increasing its partnership with Audacity to incorporate titles like Lovecraft Country Radio and The Chernobyl Podcast on the streaming platform’s library.
