MasterClass is getting into the podcast business.
“Whenever I don’t understand how something works, I want to find the person who does and ask the questions people usually don’t ask,” Rogier said in a statement. “The real answer is almost always more interesting than the official story. That’s the show.”
The move into podcasting marks another expansion for MasterClass, which has increasingly blurred the lines between online education and entertainment. The company built its name on highly produced video courses fronted by major figures in entertainment, sports, food and business, with instructors including Martin Scorsese, Shonda Rhimes, Samuel L. Jackson, Serena Williams and the Duffer Brothers. Its current membership includes more than 200 classes and original series, along with audio-only lessons and project-based “Sessions.”
