The streaming giant Office has partnered on Wednesday two original video podcasts will arrive on the platform: ” by Irvin “The White House,” streaming on January 19, and “The Pete Davidson Show,” debuting on January 30.

Both series, which are only available to Netflix subscribers, are designed to harness the star power of their hosts.

Davidson’s show will feature candid, behind-the-scenes conversations with friends from his own garage, airing every Friday, while Irvin’s show will deliver in-depth sports news, analysis, and commentary twice a week, joined by celebrity guest co-hosts like former NFL All-Pro wide receiver Brandon Marshall.

Wednesday’s news comes at a time when Netflix is ​​increasingly trying to challenge YouTube’s dominance in the podcast space, with viewers watching more than 700 million hours of podcasts every month on living room tools by 2025.

However, Netflix is ​​still in the early stages of developing its podcast library. With millions of podcasts available across YouTube, Spotify, and other rival platforms, the sheer number of options poses a significant challenge for Netflix. If the company wants to capture a decent chunk of that audience, it has a lot of work to do.
