iHeartMedia is expected to acquire Stuff Media , the parent company of the Atlanta podcast network , for $ 55 m . Since iHeartMedia filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy reorganisation in March 2018 , the deal is subject to court approval . A source familiar with the deal confirmed the price, first reported by the Wall Street Journal. If the deal is completed , however , it would tie Stuff Media 's 61 million global downloads and streams a year with iHeartMedia - owned iHeartRadio , the largest global commercial podcast publisher , according to data from Podtrac . Stuff Media 's landmark podcast , Stuff You Should Know , topped 500 million downloads in 2017 . Brick Media will keep its branding and will stay in Atlanta .
