Marshall Lewy, former chief content officer at Wondery, has been appointed head of Audible content for North America.
In the expanded role, Lewy will oversee podcasts as well as immersive audio dramas, audiobooks, podcasts and investigative series for Audible. He will also oversee Audible Theater, the company’s Off-Broadway theater and development, and the company’s film and television development and production initiatives.
The move comes after the breakup of Wondery in August 2025, in which parent company Amazon moved Wondery’s narrative podcast team, as well as Lewy, to Audible.
Wondery’s creator-led, video-focused podcast shows including New Heights and Armchair Expert joined Amazon’s Talent Services team.
At Wondery, Lewy oversaw podcasts such as Hysterical, Dr. Death, Business Wars, and Baby, This Is Keke Palmer. Several of the shows went on to film and television adaptations, and Lewy executive produced Dr. Death (Peacock), The Shrink Next Door (AppleTV), WeCrashed (AppleTV) and Dying for Sex (FX).
Audible says it currently has “dozens” of audio-first projects in development across networks, studios and streamers. Lewy will report to Audible chief content officer Rachel Ghiazza.
“Marshall’s appointment represents a tremendous opportunity for Audible’s North American content ambitions,” Ghiazza said. “His background as both a creator and executive, combined with his extensive network of industry contacts and proven track record of developing wildly popular shows, makes him uniquely positioned to lead our content strategy forward. Marshall is known throughout the industry as an outstanding leader who consistently delivers breakthrough entertainment that resonates with audiences on a massive scale.”
