Swedish audio conglomerate PodX Group AB is acquiring the majority of Lemonada Media, the network behind podcasts like Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ Wiser Than Me and Meghan Markle’s Confessions of a Female Founder.

The acquisition, which was announced Tuesday in a statement viewed by Bloomberg, marks the European company’s first purchase of a US-based network. PodX is spending around $30 million on the deal, according to a person familiar with the terms. A Lemonada representative declined to comment on the figure.
