Obamas ink deal with Amazon’s Audible after Spotify fallout

The Obamas and their Higher Ground production company have inked a new deal with Amazon’s Audible.

Bloomberg News reported that the new partnership marks the end of the Obamas’ three-year relationship with audio streaming giant Spotify. Bloomberg previously reported that the Obamas wouldn’t be renewing their deal with Spotfiy in April, citing differences in strategy.

“At Higher Ground, we have always sought to lift up voices that deserve to be heard — and Audible is invested in realizing that vision alongside us,” former President Barack Obama said in an Audible news release.

In that same release, former first lady Michelle Obama said: “We are so proud of the stories we have been able to tell at Higher Ground, and there’s no one we’d rather write our next chapter with than Audible.
