TL;DR

Amazon has shut down the Wondery podcast app and ended the Wondery+ subscription service.

The Wondery podcast studio will continue to publish Wondery-branded podcasts.

Audible’s Standard and Premium subscriptions both include ad-free listening for Wondery podcasts.

This spring, Amazon announced that its Wondery podcast service , both the Wondery app and the Wondery+ premium subscription, would be shutting down sometime this year. The day’s finally come: the Wondery app is no longer available, though podcasts published by Wondery are still available on other platforms.

Amazon quietly confirmed the app’s retirement in an update to a previous blog post today. Wondery will still operate as a podcast studio, Amazon says, continuing to publish shows like Armchair Expert and New Heights .
