\nNetflix is still signing checks to fill out its growing podcast lineup. The streamer\u2019s latest pact is with the Vox Media Podcast Network, now owned by James Murdoch\u2019s Lupa Systems, for exclusive rights to video versions of podcasts \u201cUnexplainable\u201d and \u201cSwitched on Pop.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tUnder the deal, video episodes of Vox\u2019s \u201cUnexplainable\u201d and Vulture\u2019s \u201cSwitched on Pop\u201d will begin rolling out on Netflix the week of July 13.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two titles are the first Vox Media titles to join Netflix \u2014 and both podcasts are now shifting to \u201calways-on video programming.\u201d Video episodes of both shows will be exclusive to Netflix, while audio episodes will continue to be available on all major podcast platforms.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cUnexplainable,\u201d Vox\u2019s podcast exploring scientific mysteries, will publish weekly video episodes on Mondays. The first episodes coming to Netflix tackle such questions as how we know what we know about dinosaurs; why some people hear music while others hear lyrics when they listen to songs; and why we may want to rethink our relationship with the sun. \u201cUnexplainable\u201d is co-hosted by Noam Hassenfeld, Byrd Pinkerton, Sally Helm and Meradith Hoddinott.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cSwitched on Pop\u201d is hosted by songwriter Charlie Harding and musicologist Nate Sloan, a professor at USC\u2019s Thornton School of Music. The duo break down musical ideas and production choices behind today\u2019s biggest hits, pulling songs apart to understand how they work and why they matter.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cAs more and more people are watching podcasts on screens both big and small, we\u2019re excited to partner with Netflix to bring our shows to streaming audiences worldwide,\u201d said Ray Chao, SVP and general manager of podcasts at Vox Media.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn May, Murdoch\u2019s Lupa acquired New York Magazine (including Vulture and The Cut), the Vox Media Podcast Network and Vox.com for more than $300 million. Lupa said it officially closed the deal on July 7; Jim Bankoff, who co-founded Vox Media, serves as CEO of the new company. Separately, PMC (parent of Variety<\/em>) announced a deal to acquire other Vox Media digital brands, including Eater, The Verge, SB Nation, Popsugar, The Dodo, Punch and Thrillist.<\/p>\n
