Hulu Ventures Into Podcasts with Exclusive Comedy Deal

Hulu has ventured into podcast licensing, securing its first exclusive agreement with the comedy advice podcast "We're Here to Help," hosted by Jake Johnson and Gareth Reynolds. Beginning February 10th, the show will release new episodes twice weekly, on Sundays and Tuesdays, exclusively on Hulu.

This strategic move sees Hulu gaining streaming rights to both the existing catalog and all future episodes. New content will drop on Hulu a day before its availability on other platforms, including a soon-to-be-relaunched YouTube channel. This expansion into podcasts follows similar initiatives by competitors like Netflix, which has also been actively adding podcast content.
