Layoff timeline
3 EVENTSAudible cut about 110 roles in late October 2025 as parent company Amazon wound down its podcast studio operations. The cut formed part of Amazon's wider corporate reductions announced that month, but the 14,000 figure reported for those belongs to Amazon as a whole and is recorded on Amazon's own page, not here.
Amazon has announced a restructuring of its podcast unit, resulting in the layoff of over 100 employees. This decision affects Audible, which is part of Amazon's broader strategy to streamline operations within its podcasting division. The layoffs are part of an effort to refocus resources and improve efficiency in response to changing market conditions. While specific details about the affected locations or departments were not disclosed, the move reflects ongoing adjustments within Amazon's media and entertainment sectors.
