What is the new Spotify internal podcast linking feature, and how can it be used by podcasters and guests?
The new Spotify internal podcast linking feature allows users to link directly to specific episodes, songs, or playlists within Spotify from their podcast episodes. For podcast hosts, this means they can reference previous episodes and provide a direct clickable link, making it easier for listeners to navigate and explore related content.
How does the new Spotify internal linking feature improve audience engagement and retention for podcasts?
This feature significantly improves engagement and retention by making it effortless for listeners to access referenced content.
Instead of just mentioning "listen to episode 29," podcasters can embed a direct link to that specific episode, or even a particular timestamp within it. This reduces friction for the audience, encouraging them to delve deeper into a podcast's back catalog or explore related music playlists.
By providing a curated and seamless experience, similar to YouTube's suggested videos, podcasters can increase "watch time," "listen time," and overall active and passive engagement, making their show more enjoyable and leading to more subscribers and downloads.
Why is using Spotify's hosting platform (Anchor.fm/Spotify for Podcasters) crucial for utilizing this new feature?
Utilizing Spotify's own hosting platform (formerly Anchor.fm, now Spotify for Podcasters) is crucial because this new internal linking feature is specifically designed and catered to that platform. While other hosting services like Buzzsprout or Libsyn can distribute content to Spotify, they do not offer the same direct administrative or operational access to Spotify's unique features.
Being hosted directly on Spotify for Podcasters means you are an "admin or operator" within their system, allowing you to fully integrate and leverage features like internal podcast linking, polls, clips (like shorts for podcasts), and access to Spotify's audience n
