Spotify is adding a trio of new features to its app that should make
listening to and interacting with podcasts a little easier. First, the
streaming service is putting a Following feed in the main Podcasts area on
the Home screen. With this toggle, you can quickly see what's new from the
shows you subscribe to. The company says the goal here is to eliminate the
need to search for fresh content from podcasts you follow, and it pledges it
will "continue to explore new ways to make this space even better." And just
below shortcuts on the Home screen, Spotify will start displaying podcast
recommendations, complete with a note as to why the algorithm picked it for
you.

Next, Spotify plans to roll out an "In this episode" section for podcast
pages. Here, you'll find links to other shows, songs, audiobooks, playlists
and more than hosts mention or recommend. Creators will have the ability to
link those items as they see fit, so you won't have to go looking for them
later.

Lastly, the company is giving podcast comments a slight refresh. Based on
user feedback, Spotify is introducing threaded replies and emoji reactions
for creators. This will all still be controlled via Spotify for Creators
where they can also control if comments are available for their show or
specific episodes.
