Spotify expands AI playlist feature to podcasts

Spotify is extending its AI-powered "Prompted Playlist" feature, initially launched for music, to now include podcasts. This enhancement allows premium users in supported English-speaking markets to generate personalized podcast playlists using text prompts. Users can specify genres, desired twists, or even request highly-rated series they might have missed. The feature also offers customizable update frequencies for playlists, with Spotify noting that included episodes will briefly explain their inclusion. This move aims to simplify podcast discovery for listeners and create new avenues for creators to reach audiences.
