Twitter: The podcast in spaces

It became apparent last week that Twitter is making several attempts to revive its acoustic offering, Spaces. What has been announced now may interest us. Twitter will integrate podcasts into the Spaces tab. There, one will then be able to find dedicated hubs, which will be called “stations”, and group content based on the topic. This will relate to both popular podcasts and content that is currently being streamed in Spaces Rooms or recorded. Currently, this is only published for English speaking users of iOS and Android. Whether there will also be a desktop version will depend on the feedback Twitter gets from users. (HVG)
