Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor N’Jeri Eaton, former head of audio at Netflix and head of content at Apple Podcasts, is joining Wondery as head of co-productions for limited series.

Eaton reports to George Lavender, head of creative production for limited series at Wondery. Eaton will oversee the podcast studio and network’s external collaborations, managing multiple shows from their initial idea through production and launch.

For its original limited series, Wondery — a division of Amazon — has collaborated with partners including the Boston Globe’s Spotlight Team (“Gladiator”), NBC News (“Do No Harm”) and Bloomberg (“The Shrink Next Door,” which was adapted as an Apple TV+ show). “I have long been a fan of Wondery,” Eaton said in a statement provided to Variety. “From ‘Dirty John’ to ‘Harsh Reality,’ Wondery has a well-earned reputation for incredible storytelling.

I am thrilled to join the team to continue collaborations with companies like Bloomberg as well as seeking out new partnerships.” Eaton has spent her career developing, producing and supporting creators across podcasting and documentary films.
