Spotify tests in-app podcast creation tools in New Zealand
We started @anchor with a mission to democratize audio.
So perhaps it’s only fitting that as I wrap up my time @spotify, we launch this:
Starting in NZ, now any Spotify user can make a podcast episode within the Spotify app, no extra tools or hardware needed. https://t.co/1ZV3yzefEh

Prior to this, Spotify, through resources such as Anchor acquired in 2019, allowed users to create Podcast content through these resources. However, users must use additional software services, and even for better sound quality performance, they must be equipped with additional hardware devices for radio. The new function tested this time is obviously to allow users to directly stay in the Spotify app to complete the production of Podcast content.
According to Spotify’s instructions, in the test content, just click the “+” in the upper right corner of Spotify’s “Your Library” to select “Create Playlist” or “Record Podcast”. After selecting “Record Podcast”, users can record through the simple operation interface. You can also choose to pause during recording and edit later, or even select an available track as background music. You can also write titles, intros, or tag other podcasts, songs, and more for Podcast content.It is not yet possible to confirm when Spotify is expected to open this feature to the outside world, and whether it will also provide an analysis report on Podcast content listening data.
