Spotify adds AI-powered podcast playlists

Spotify has expanded its AI-driven Prompted Playlists feature to include podcasts, a significant update for Premium users seeking new shows. Previously limited to music, this feature now allows users to generate customized podcast playlists using text prompts to guide the algorithm toward specific genres or themes. While still in beta and exclusive to English-speaking Premium users in the U.S. and Canada, this enhancement aims to simplify podcast discovery by leveraging AI to tailor content recommendations, potentially increasing engagement with a wider range of audio programming.
