Spotify is cutting 200 jobs in its podcast division. The reason: a new strategy for the narrative audio formats.
This is Spotify's new podcast strategy
In future, more partnerships with leading podcasters are to be expanded. And the company wants to better support artists - which can also be interpreted to mean that Spotify wants to focus less on its original podcasts in future.
And to achieve this, the company will have to say goodbye to two per cent of its employees - that's how many of the 200 jobs will be made up. Some podcasts were already discontinued last autumn. Nevertheless, Spotify is still the largest podcast platform with currently five million formats.

Testing devices and gadgets is my thing. Some experiments lead to interesting insights, others to demolished phones. I’m hooked on series and can’t imagine life without Netflix. In summer, you’ll find me soaking up the sun by the lake or at a music festival.
