Podcasts are coming to Twitter under new Spaces Tab

Twitter is adding podcasts to its platform through its redesigned Spaces Tab.

Spaces, where live audio conversations take place, will now feature podcasts from around the world. It’ll also feature personalized content grouped through themes, like news and sports. The platform will suggest podcasts based on content users regularly interact with.

In a blog post, Twitter says 45 percent of U.S. users listen to podcasts every month. Twitter will “automatically suggest compelling podcasts to help people easily find and listen to the topics they want to hear more about.”

Users can give podcasts a ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down,’ indicating if they’re interested in the content.

The new features are being tested and will only be visible to some global users who have their settings set to English. Both iOS and Android users can be part of the testing group.

Twitter Spaces tests letting some hosts record and share their broadcasts

Twitter is testing out a new setting that lets users record their Spaces.

For context, ‘Spaces’ is the name for the platform’s broadcasting feature, which lets users host live audio conversations with their followers.

According to an announcement from Twitter, a “limited number” of hosts on iOS can now save and share their Spaces after the live event ends.

Moreover, all users — whether they’re on iOS or Android devices — will be able to listen to the recordings.

Twitter began rolling out Spaces on mobile and desktop in May 2021.

In June, the platform added a new tab to help users find relevant live Spaces when they open the Twitter mobile app.

Most recently, in August, Twitter Spaces expanded its metaphorical stage to let two users co-host a broadcast, and up to 10 users participate in the conversation as speakers.
