Spotify mimics Apple’s design with new podcast show page updates –

▤ Summary

Spotify’s ongoing investments in the podcast-streaming side of its business helped boost podcast listening on its service by 200% last year. The new layout now makes it easier to view information about podcasts and improves discovery of new shows. The other major change is to the landing page for podcast shows in Spotify, which are getting a revamp to be more readable at a glance. The updated layout has moved the descriptions up to the top of the page, so you don’t have to swipe on a show to read about it. However, Spotify’s real advantage in podcasts isn’t just how it can mimic Apple’s better design, but how it’s catering to creators, investing in originals and exclusives, personalizing its recommendations, and now, its ads.
