Hey, Jonas Brothers fans — the iHeartMedia podcast is one of six titles that will soon be distributed on Disney+ and Hulu, thanks to a freshly inked deal between the Walt Disney Co. and the nation’s largest audio content creator and distributor.
The news from iHeartMedia preceded the release of its second quarter 2026 earnings results, and will see Hey Jonas! arrive on the dual streaming platforms owned by Disney on August 14.
At a later date, video editions of iHeartPodcasts’ Pod Meets World will head to Disney+ — as well as Desperately Devoted, Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald, StraightioLab, and Thanks Dad with Ego Nwodim to Hulu and Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S. “in the coming months.”
New episodes will stream weekly across all podcasts.
Lauren Tempest, Head of Content Planning & Partnerships in the Direct-to-Consumer division of Disney, commented, “These new video podcasts from iHeartMedia bring fans closer to their favorite worlds and the creators behind them, and we’re thrilled to make them available on Disney+ and Hulu as part of an even richer streaming experience.”
For iHeartMedia Chairman/CEO Bob Pittman, “Podcasting continues to evolve as audiences increasingly want to engage with the shows and personalities they love in more ways and across more platforms. Disney+ and Hulu have built powerful streaming destinations with incredibly passionate fan communities, making them ideal partners to expand the reach of these beloved iHeartPodcasts. From iconic rewatch series and fan-favorite conversations to original storytelling, this deal gives both existing listeners and new viewers an easy way to discover and connect with some of podcasting’s most engaging voices through video.”
Desperately Devoted on Hulu will begin streaming with video for the first time on November 2. It features actress Teri Hatcher, on-screen daughter Andrea Bowen, and her real-life daughter Emerson Tenney.
Fans of Scrubs can also revisit each episode of the hit series alongside co-stars and real-life best friends Zach Braff and Donald Faison with Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald.
Pod Meets World is an offering tied to 1990s era Friday night teen-targeted offering Boy Meets World.
Each of the offerings are natural fits for the Disney-owned video platforms, as they involve programming that once aired on ABC.
