Spotify will now allow users to add podcast content into a playlist. Spotify announced the new feature and indicated that podcast content can be added to either an all podcasts playlist, or one that is comprised of podcasts and music. Spotify's new podcast playlist capabilities are currently only available to mobile users.
Users are able to create a podcast playlist through the podcast menu, and by then selecting "Add to playlist." Users can add podcast materials to an existing playlist or to an entirely new one.
The new feature will complement Spotify users who consume a lot of podcast content, as playlists can provide a great deal of organization for the users.
