About Spotify (Podcasts)

Spotify's podcast offering is the spoken-audio side of the Stockholm-based streaming service, integrated into the same free and Premium subscriptions.

Spotify hosts both third-party RSS-distributed podcasts and exclusive originals through Spotify for Podcasters (formerly Anchor). The parent company, Spotify AB, remains headquartered at Regeringsgatan 19 in Stockholm.
