Podcast Wars: Amazon to acquire Wondery escalating competition with Spotify - GeekWire

Earlier this week Panzer made a trip to the GeekWire site. There he found a post about Amazon and podcasting.
 
According to the post by Todd Bishop, Amazon has announced their intended acquisition of Wondery. Wondery is a podcast production studio. Once the acquisition is complete Wondery will become part of Amazon Music. Amazon Music is already involved in the podcast market.  Amazon's announcement doesn't give any information on the financial terms of the acquisition. The post includes several links to other sources including Amazon's acquisition announcement.
 
Is it time for a kitty podcast?
Panzer says, "This could prove to be an interesting development for podcasters."
 
Note: This is a long-short length post. Bring a cup of tea for today's reading selection. If you plan to follow all the links in the post, bring a thermos of tea and two muffins, two cupcakes, and a brownie.
