It's A Create Day To Be Alive:
Spotify is currently beta testing a new feature that will allow users to create and listen to pre-recorded, radio-style shows – or podcasts with music – combining playlists and users’ own commentary. The shows will be available exclusively on Spotify using the streaming service’s music licenses. Spotify Premium users will hear full songs, while those using the free version of the service will hear 30-second music previews instead. Content creators can utilize Spotify’s podcasting app, Anchor, and Spotify will be reviewing episodes with music before posting them to ensure compliance with community guidelines. More here.
