Spotify launches new Podcast playlists which are available in the UK, US, Germany, Sweden, Mexico and Brazil. The streamer is launching dozens of playlists all intended to help users find their next favourite show or episode. The full mix of playlists will look a little different in every country but over time Spotify has promised to update existing playlists and add new ones.
As part of the launch, Spotify is introducing three flagship playlists: Best Podcasts of the Week, Crime Scene, and Brain Snacks. These will be localised for each market and curated by local editors.
Best Podcasts of the Week
Best Podcasts of the Week is a hand-curated roundup of the week’s top podcast episodes. For those who love consuming everything from news and comedy to true crime and sports, you’ll find recommendations of the most noteworthy, culturally relevant, and important shows here, updated every Tuesday.
Crime Scene
Crime Scene is the place to be for those who enjoy high quality storytelling and discovering new true crime stories. This playlist updates weekly with all types of crime content from well-known true crime brands.
Brain Snacks
Brain Snacks is for the information seekers who crave the latest factoids in 20 minutes or less.
Spotify are also rolling out playlist notifications for its Spotify for Podcasters creators. Further information about this can be found on the Spotify for Podcasters blog.
