‘Radio shows’ on Spotify
Introduces last October, Music + Talk blends music and spoken-word content. The format weaves full songs and talk commentary together into one show — much like a Radio DJ show. Previously, Spotify launched the feature to users and creators in the U.S., Canada, the U.K., Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
Creators can incorporate full songs from Spotify’s library of 70 million tracks into their spoken-word audio podcasts through Anchor. In return, listeners can interact directly with the music within an episode by liking, saving, and sharing with each track as they would in any playlist.

Spotify also will offer new educational resources so podcasters can inspire and learn more about the feature.
