Dax Shepard’s “Armchair Expert” podcast inked a new $80 million distribution and ad sales deal with Amazon’s podcast network Wondery after spending three years under Spotify’s banner.

“I could not be more excited about making Wondery our home,” Shepard said in a statement to media. “Jen Sargent and her team have created a brand that imbues quality, daring and creativity. The Wondery logo actually means something. They are the HBO of the podcast space. We are extremely excited to join forces and bring fresh new content to listeners around the world.”

As part of the collaboration, the actor/comedian/Kristen Bell’s husband will develop two new podcasts.
