Twitter has announced that it is diving integrating podcasts into its platform, as part of its newly designed ‘Spaces Tab’ that has recently gained traction.
The social media firm said it wants to enable users listen to full shows curated through playlists based on a person’s interest.
In the new redesign, the spaces tab will open with ‘Stations’, these are topic based playlists that combines the social audio events and recodings, just like Apple podcast or Spotify.
The firm is currently testing the feature to random group of users worldwide.
Users who come across podcasts they like will be able to give it a thumbs up or thumbs down, to let Twitter know if the content is for their interest.
It will be available for both Android and iOS users.
“Integrating podcasts into Spaces, where audio conversations happen on Twitter, is another way we’re continuing to invest in audio creators,” Twitter said in the blog post.
“To do this in a simple and intuitive way that allows listeners to simply hit play and go, we started with a redesigned audio experience in the Spaces Tab.”
