BREAKING: Netflix has just announced a groundbreaking deal to become the exclusive home of the wildly popular podcast Pardon My Take, set to launch in January 2026. This move comes on the heels of Barstool Sports’ impressive success with the show, which has amassed a loyal following and over 659,000 subscribers on YouTube alone.
In a major shift, while Pardon My Take will continue to be available on audio platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts, it will no longer stream on YouTube, marking a significant change for both the creators and fans. During the latest episode, host Dan “Big Cat” Katz expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s a big deal for the podcast. It’s surreal. I think it’s going to open the door to some more doors for us.”
This partnership is expected to not only enhance the podcast’s reach but also allow behind-the-scenes team members to share in the podcast’s success. Katz added, “If this means that everyone can have more pie, let’s make some more pie.” Fellow host Eric “PFT” Sollenberger echoed the sentiment, emphasizing their enthusiasm for the new collaboration with Netflix, saying, “Netflix sounds like they’re going to be a great partner.”
The streaming giant is rapidly expanding its video podcast portfolio, with Pardon My Take joining other Barstool programs, including the Ryen Russillo Podcast and Spittin Chiclets. This strategic move follows Netflix’s earlier agreement with Spotify to bring several shows from The Ringer, including The Bill Simmons Podcast, to its platform.
As Netflix continues to diversify its content offerings, this partnership signals a significant evolution in how audiences consume podcasts. Fans can expect more engaging content as the podcast gears up for its exciting transition to Netflix in January 2026.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story develops.
