O Spotify is launching a new feature that allows listeners to comment on podcast episodes on the platform.
Initially, these comments will only appear to the creator of the podcast in question, who will be able to approve and decide which comments they want to be made public and appear to everyone.
Podcast creators will also be able to choose whether comments are visible across the show or just on specific episodes.
And if they don’t want to receive any type of comment, just disable the feature.
According to Spotify, comments are a way to expand on the platform’s existing Q&A and poll functionality on podcasts, which was implemented in 2021.
“With the introduction of comments, we’re also excited to give all creators — regardless of where their episodes are hosted — better ways to manage their entire show, including listener feedback,” Spotify said in a statement.
These actions can be done through the new Spotify for Podcasters mobile app, making it easier for podcast creators to access and manage their product.
“Podcast creators can now use Spotify for Podcasters on desktop or with our new mobile app to engage with listeners, manage their Spotify presence, check their latest stats, and track growth in real time. And fans can comment directly on podcast episodes they’re already listening to on Spotify,” the statement added.
