Spotify introduces Spotify for Podcasters, offering more 'access to innovation'

Digital music, podcast, and video service firm Spotify said earlier on its For the Record blog page: "Empowering creators is central to everything we do at Spotify. We've long been building the tools that podcasters need to tell their stories and grow their audiences, but until now, they've been split across multiple, separate platforms, including Anchor and Spotify for Podcasters. For creators who just want a simple way to take advantage of everything Spotify has to offer, it's been too complicated. That ends now. Today at Stream On, we announced that we're combining our tools into a single, convenient, one-stop shop: Spotify for Podcasters. This makes for a significantly easier experience for every podcaster already on Spotify, and further, it opens up the opportunity for even more creators to find success-no matter how they choose to manage their podcast. Previously, our most innovative features were limited to Anchor users exclusively. But we're building the new Spotify for Podcasters in a way that offers more open access to innovation. As a result, all Spotify for Podcasters users-including those not hosting their content with us-will find access to Q&A and Poll functionality in their dashboards. And stay tuned for even more features to become available for non-hosted users in the future: We're starting to open up access to video podcasts for more creators. You can sign up for more information at spotify.com/video. Starting today, when all creators sign up or log in to Spotify for Podcasters, they'll find a dashboard with everything they need to make, manage, and level up their show, including: The ability to upload and publish episodes."
