United States – Social media platform has announced the integration of podcasts into their platform via their existing Twitter Spaces feature. Twitter describes the move as ‘help[ing] people connect with unique and compelling voices around the world.’
This redesign introduces personalised hubs that group audio content together by specific themes like news, music, sports, among others. Twitter listeners will be able to easily access a more personalised selection of live and recorded Spaces discussing the topics that are most relevant to them.
“From [Twitter] Spaces and podcasts to newsletters and notes, we’re working every day to improve the way people connect with creators and make Twitter the home of the most engaging conversations in the world,” the company stated.
Twitter listeners can also give a podcast a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’ to let the platform know if the content is more or less interesting to the listeners.
The new podcast integration will be visible to a group of global English-speaking audience on iOS and Android as of this writing.
