Spotify Takes to the Skies With Delta For an Exclusive In-Flight Audio Experience

September 1, 2021

You are now free to roam about the cabin—and get the music and podcasts you love at 30,000 feet. Beginning today, we’re taking off in a new partnership with Delta in which Spotify will take over the “audio” section of Delta’s in-flight seatback entertainment. This means passengers on Delta flights that are equipped with seatback entertainment globally can now enjoy their favorite audio content exclusively in-flight on Delta Studio. 

There are currently more than 20 million flight-related user-generated playlists globally on Spotify, and this new partnership is making it even easier for listeners to tap into their favorite audio content while flying.  

This in-flight content is licensed directly by Delta and will be free for all passengers. It includes specially curated versions of Spotify’s most popular playlists—in the form of mixtapes curated by Spotify’s editorial experts—along with 42 select podcast series to choose from. 

These include popular playlists Mood Booster, Are & Be, Hot Country, mint, Today’s Top Hits, Relax & Unwind, RapCaviar, and Ultimate Indie, with Rock This, Roots Rising, and ¡Viva Latino! to come in the October refresh, as well as episodes from podcasts such as Crime Junkie, Science Vs, StartUp, The Dave Chang Show, The Hottest Take, The Journal, and more. 

Passengers will now be able to discover new music and podcasts during their journeys by accessing the “audio” section of Delta’s seatback in-flight entertainment system. The content will be updated regularly, so there’s something for everyone—even frequent flyers.

You can also listen to your own Spotify content while up in the air and away from Wi-Fi or data. Learn how.

The Ringer Podcast Network and Majordomo Media Serve Up ‘Recipe Club’ With David Chang and Chris Ying

November 12, 2020

Cooking shows have long served up entertainment and rumbling stomachs, and now culinary podcasts are following suit, with something all new simmering onto Spotify on November 17. The Ringer Podcast Network and Majordomo Media are taking the lid off Recipe Club, an all-new podcast series from David Chang. It comes on the heels of the chef-restaurateur, author, and television host/producer’s first successful podcast, The Dave Chang Show.

In the new weekly show, co-hosts David Chang and Chris Ying, plus a rotating featured guest, will present different recipes for well-known dishes from somewhere across the culinary universe. All three hosts will cook the dishes, then give their unfiltered critiques and debate which recipe submission was the strongest. Get ready for moments like Chang, Ying, and acclaimed food writer Priya Krishna arguing over the merits of each cook’s respective method for making chicken parmesan or BLTs. The first four episodes of Recipe Club will feature popular holiday recipes for turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and roast pork. 

The idea for the new podcast, initially piloted as a segment on select episodes of The Dave Chang Show, was an instant success. Both shows come out of Majordomo Media, Chang, Ying, Christopher Chen, and Dave O’Connor’s production company, which creates award-winning television shows, podcasts, books, and digital media that celebrate food as a pathway to better connecting with others.

“The Recipe Club sprang from the productive working relationship we have with The Ringer and Spotify,” said Dave O’Connor, co-CEO of Majordomo Media. “They’ve been incredibly supportive of our efforts to experiment and try things out on The Dave Chang Show, and Recipe Club is a perfect example of the creative work our partnership can yield. We couldn’t be more excited to explore more ideas as we continue to grow together.”

The Ringer, launched by Bill Simmons in 2016 and acquired by Spotify in 2020, is a website, podcast network, and scripted and nonscripted video production house creating an innovative blend of sports, pop culture, politics, and tech content.

“After the success of The Dave Chang Show these past two-plus years, spinning off this concept into its own show seemed like a natural evolution,” said Geoff Chow, Managing Director, The Ringer. “We are always looking for ways to provide innovative content for our listeners, and we are thrilled to be expanding our relationship with Dave and Majordomo Media for years to come.”

Plus, fans of The Dave Chang Show can delight—the series was renewed for a multiyear deal. Icing on the cake.
