Spotify Is Doing Video Podcasts Now, Too Unlisted Video

As part of its hard-lean pivot to Podcast King, Spotify is now bringing video podcasts to its platform, complete with seamless multitasking support if you prefer to listen instead. Support for video podcasting will kick off with just a handful of Spotify’s programs, the company said Tuesday, including Book of Basketball 2.0, Fantasy Footballers, the Misfits Podcast, H3 Podcast, the Morning Toast, Higher Learning with Van Lathan & Rachel Lindsay, and the Rooster Teeth Podcast. If you’re watching a video but leave the app, it will continue to play in the background while you dink around on your phone or tablet.
