Twitter Is Working On A Podcasts Tab

Twitter is working on a Podcasts tab. 

Code discovered by Alessandro Paluzzi in the Twitter app reveals the platform is currently developing a dedicated podcast tab in the sidebar.

Twitter confirmed it is always testing new ways to "help people engage in conversations on Twitter," but did not share specifics regarding podcast support. Although, with other social media platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn entering the podcasting world and the overall growth of the industry, it seems almost inevitable. 

The big question is whether Twitter will integrate with other third-party platforms so podcasters can link out to their podcasts across Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and others or if the platform will launch its own podcasting tool. No matter what direction it takes, podcasts are yet another way the platform can attract content creators, similar to the integration and acquisition of newsletter platform, Revue.
