Spotify develops its algorithms to suggest users' favorite podcast episodes



Take Spotify. Spotify Her first step toward customizing "broadcast podcast episodes" recommendations is with the official launch of Daily playlist for podcasts , Which will provide the listeners with an automatic list of broadcasts that the user would like to see on a daily basis, unlike music, podcast episodes are radio programs that revolve around various topics where you can consider them as (the radio programs that you listen to on the radio).


The feature has been under testing for a while, and the company says it has achieved positive results, prompting it to roll out the feature to all users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Sweden, Mexico, Brazil, Canada, Australia and New Zealand.

And the playlist mixes the streaming elements people already follow with Spotify recommendations, as the Spotify team focuses on the user's listening history and the shows the person follows to make various suggestions.


The playlist will include long podcast episodes and smaller news programs, Emily Rawitch, product design manager, says, and the team is not bound by any specific format or percentage of long-form episodes to shows and short episodes and between proposing new podcast episodes or featuring episodes of favorites.


Rawitch also says that the list will not adhere to specific standards and have no preference for certain shows over other shows or Spotify shows versus other networks, as listeners may show an episode in a series they are already listening to or a show on a topic similar to something they previously liked; Or a popular show from the category they like to listen to; Or a show with a host they actually enjoy.


The Product Design Manager did not provide any detailed insight into how the algorithm would work in the future or how it would determine what content might be interesting to listeners. Unlike music, podcasts contain many factors that make them more difficult to classify and recommend, for example the voices and personalities of hosts. And episode themes, but Emily did not elaborate on how the company evaluates these traits and it is not clear whether the team plans to automate the backstage scripting of presentations to gain a clearer understanding of the episode themes.


But it appears that, as another spokeswoman said Spotify It will now focus more on the behavior and history of each user more than anything else while planning to expand in the future to other factors that can provide more accurate suggestions to users in their daily list of podcast episodes.
