Spotify makes it easier for you to discover podcasts

(Pocket-lint) – According to reports, Spotify appears to be testing a new TikTok style of podcast discovery that could make it easier for you to find new things to listen to.

Spotify is already a popular platform for finding and listening to podcasts, now the company is trying to make it even better.

Some users took to Twitter to report that they saw a new Podcasts section at the bottom of the app where you’d normally find your library and home buttons. From there, you can then click through to a podcast discovery TikTok style that lets you sample random podcasts by simply browsing through them.

HUGE!! @Spotify adds a dedicated TikTok-style vertical scrolling feed for @spotifypodcasts to its toolbar!

As you can see from this Tweet, the design looks like it’s scrolling through random podcasts and even includes automatic captions to pique your interest.

this seems to be similar to the video discovery feature that was being tested in the app at the end of 2021. Alas, the new experience appears to be only in the testing phase at the moment and not open to everyone. As with all of these things, we can’t say if we’ll see a wider rollout in the future or if this is just a test that Spotify will then abandon.
