Spotify is introducing new podcast-focused features in its mobile app to make it easier for users to keep track of podcasts and discover new ones.
The new 'Following' feed will provide a dedicated place to catch the latest releases from podcasts users follow, all in one easy-to-access feed within the main Podcast feed on Home.
Spotify will offer podcast recommendations in the Home feed below shortcuts, making it easier to explore new shows and episodes with notes explaining why certain podcasts are recommended.
Creators on Spotify will have access to features such as linking to content discussed in their shows on the platform, threaded replies, and emoji reactions to comments, with these updates rolling out in the coming weeks.
