This is a section where creators can add links to songs, playlists, and audiobooks — must be within Spotify — that are talked about in that podcast episode. Spotify says “it’s perfect for fans who want to dive deeper and for creators working across formats.”
You’ll be able to find this new “In this episode” section by going to the specific episode page and scrolling down.
And finally, Spotify is updating podcast comments. Specifically, it’s introducing threaded replies (and emoji reactions), which will hopefully make the comments section less unruly.
When’s it coming?
Spotify is rolling out the new features as we speak. You have access to several of them, including the new Following feed section, right now. Others, like the “In this episode” section, are expected to be available “in the coming weeks.”
