Summary

Spotify’s latest move turns long-form journalism into audio—partnering with Rolling Stone, The Atlantic, and Vogue to bring 650+ articles to its platform, perfect for commuters or chores. Premium users get access via listening hours, while free users pay $2 per article. It’s Spotify’s smart play to ease listeners into deeper audio content, capitalizing on audiobook growth. Beyond this, they’re experimenting with AI remixes, artist verification, indie bookstore support, and early concert access for Premium. And hey, they’re celebrating 20 years with a disco ball icon—classic logo back soon. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
