Spotify Videos on Apple TV

Other upgrades include AI DJ, song lyrics, and using a smartphone as a remote. The update will roll out automatically, but can also be manually downloaded from the App Store. Spotify is also working with Netflix to bring video podcasts to that platform early next year.

Podcast Tip Of The Day
When imposter syndrome whispers that you're not expert enough to podcast, remember: your value isn't in knowing everything—it's in sharing what you know in a way that resonates. Instead of comparing yourself to established voices, focus on the specific perspective only you can offer. Prepare thoroughly, but don't wait for "perfect"—record episodes addressing real questions your ideal listener actually has. Keep a "praise file" of positive listener feedback to revisit when doubts arise, and remember that even the most successful hosts started with an empty studio and nervous excitement.
A Final Note
“The most magnetic podcasts aren't hosted by perfect experts, but by authentic humans sharing what they genuinely care about.”
