TikTok and its algorithmic feed is so hot right now and every app wants to copy its features. The latest app is Spotify which is revamping its podcast feed.
Spotify recently acquired Pods for close to $50 million and now the company is testing a new UI toolbar that features a button to toggle your podcast feed into a TikTok-inspired feed.
The new vertical scrolling UI allows you to swipe through podcast previews(60 seconds) – you can swipe up to go to the next podcast clip or stay if it piques your interest.
