On 25 August, Twitter began integrating podcasts into its newly redesigned Spaces tab.
According to Twitter’s statement, “Integrating podcasts into Spaces, where audio conversations happen on Twitter, is another way we’re continuing to invest in audio creators. 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.”
Personalized hubs known as Stations will begin to appear as part of the Spaces redesign. These divide audio information into categories such as News, Music, and Sports, among others.
Recommendations will be based on the accounts that a user follows. Podcasts can be rated with a ‘thumbs up or a ‘thumbs down to indicate favor or dissatisfaction.
According to Twitter, the new Spaces with podcast feature is currently available to a select group of global English-speaking audiences on iOS and Android.
