With comments, podcasters can now engage with their listeners directly within Spotify, as they can with other interactive features like Polls and Q&As.

Combined with the app's 2023 revamp, which added a TikTok-like discovery feed, artist profiles where creators can hawk merchandise and concert tickets, as well as the ability to post to stories, Spotify's app is shaping up to be a social network centered around all things audio, not just a music-streaming app.
