Audible, on the other hand, is going more into a storytelling direction with original shows like Presidents are People Too, Mortal City and Damned Spot. This reminds me of Apple Music’s first foray into original video content with Planet of the Apps (which is also using the app store as part of the concept).Ģ. There are companion playlists for Google Play’s City Soundtracks as well as Spotify’s Showstopper (and maybe also for Spotify's Unpacked and The Chris Lighty Story, both of which have not started airing yet).
All their shows (so far) focus on what they know best: Music. Google Play Music and Spotify work with external producers and networks like Pineapple Street Media, Slate/Panoply Studios, Gimlet Media and Loudspeaker Network. Now, Google Play Music is joining in, and Amazon has been standing on the sidelines for ages. But what does it mean if podcast players are turning into podcast producers? How will that change (and maybe limit) the podcast space? Some thoughts:ġ. Last time, I wrote about Spotify expanding its original content. The special thing about this show though: It may be a Google Play Music show, produced by Imprint Projects and Pineapple Street Media, but it's also available on any other podcast apps. In one of the three episodes that have dropped so far, Big Freedia, the Queen of Bounce, is giving some insights into the musical scene of New Orleans – and there could be nobody else who is more perfect for this! I really urge you to listen!! All three companies have also started creating their own shows, Google Play Music being the latest to join in with City Soundtracks.Ĭity Soundtracks is a really cool show about the soundtracks of different US cities.
As you probably know, all of them want you to listen to podcasts on their platforms. Amazon has produced and distributed its own podcasts under the Audible label for a while now, Google Play Music has started to integrate podcasts in April of 2016 and Spotify has started including podcasts into their streaming service about a year ago. This week, I need to start this off by taking a closer look at Google Play Music, Spotify and Amazon/Audible. How platforms might be changing podcasts for all of us A dive into podcast platforms becoming podcast producers, a whole bunch of recently launched shows and industry news – and podcast recommendations ranging from Acne to Talking Dolls: Welcome to a shortened and edited version of Sara's Podcast Newsletter.
