Spotify announces three original podcasts
By Andy Malt | Published on Monday 27 February 2017
Spotify has announced that it is launching three original music-related podcasts in the coming months.
The lesser known podcast library section of Spotify’s mobile app has been available for some time now, and this move seems to be an attempt to draw more attention to it. It also fits in with the streaming service’s existing move into more documentary style content.
Already available is ‘Showstopper’, a series of interviews with TV music supervisors hosted by The Fader’s Editor-In-Chief Naomi Zeichner. Next month a second show, ‘Unpacked’, will launch, with music supervisor Matt FX and Spotify’s Michele Santucci travelling to different cultural festivals, starting with SXSW. Finally, in April, ‘The Chris Lighty Story’ will examine the life of the hip hop mogul who died in 2012.
Of course, if you want to listen to a music industry podcast on Spotify, you should really start with this one.
