Podcasts are an increasingly strong point within Spotify. The streaming platform has a wide selection of titles available , and even has exclusive productions. In the last hours the company announced the incorporation of social tools that will favor the generation of conversations between users.
The newest is the possibility of sharing specific timestamps of an episode . With this new Spotify feature, people will be able to create and share links that point to specific moments in podcasts. Those who receive them will only have to touch on the link to listen from the chosen point.
Although it is an extremely simple utility, it is really valid. Until now, users only had the ability to share entire episodes of their favorite podcasts. Now you can make sure to send your friends the specific segment where something interesting happens or can trigger a discussion.
