Spotify has launched Comments, allowing any listener to leave comments on your podcast episodes. The feature is rolling out from today, and replaces the Q&A feature. Also, the Spotify for Podcasters app on iOS and Android now supports all podcasts, wherever they’re hosted – giving analytics, notifications and additional information.
Unlike Apple Podcasts reviews, all Comments are private, and you choose to make them visible – plus, you can publicly reply to them, and you can block accounts to help fight online trolls. You can turn off Comments altogether too, in the Spotify for Podcasters dashboard or in the new app – they’re all features requested in comments to our Report Card earlier on this year, which we shared with Spotify directly. Our comments are open, though, so if you can, leave us a comment.
You can, of course, leave comments for each episode in YouTube and in GoodPods; but each app has its own comments. There are no APIs into either comments on GoodPods or Spotify.
Ad attribution company Podscribe has launched “automated pixel distribution”, which automates the generation and distribution of pixels to multiple publishers.
Rephonic has added “listeners per episode” estimates to its podcast information service. (Anyone can claim their podcast by using OP3, and seeing all the data for your show). Here’s what our page looks like – we make aggregate ratings from Rephonic data in our podcast pages.

Podcasting People today has a tip from our Editor, James Cridland, on getting your podcast workflow right – so it’s easier to make sure you keep podcasting.
Where Are You Going? is on the buses until the end of August – on the T15 Routemaster bus, to be accurate, which runs between Tower Hill and Trafalgar Square in London. The award-winning podcast asks one simple question to discover a wealth of stories.
In & Around Podcasting ask whether “value 4 value” is dead (by which they really are talking about streaming SATs, not the concept itself). It’s a good listen, with Captivate’s Mark Asquith and Danny Brown, joined by Mathew (one ‘t’) Passy.
The journalist Evan Ratliff is replicating himself – using an AI voice clone to talk to spammers and scammers, friends, family, and even his wife. Shell Game is the result – described as an “immersive, surprising, and laugh-out-loud bizarre exploration”.
