This creative collaboration reflects how Spotify continues to evolve podcasting. What began as an audio-first medium is now a vibrant multi-format landscape. As the category matures, Spotify remains focused on innovation, scale, and creator success.

“This partnership marks a new chapter for podcasting,” said Roman Wasenmüller, VP and Head of Podcasts at Spotify. “Together with Netflix, we’re expanding discovery, helping creators reach new audiences, and giving fans around the world the chance to experience the stories they love and uncover favorites they never expected. This offers more choice to creators and unlocks a completely new distribution opportunity.”

Elevating the ecosystem

The collaboration also reinforces Spotify’s belief that when platforms work together, creators benefit. By partnering with Netflix, Spotify is helping creators captivate even more fans worldwide.

Looking ahead, Spotify plans to bring similar opportunities to a wider range of creators. Throughout this expansion, the core principles of Spotify’s podcasting model remain unchanged: Creators retain control, benefit from multiple revenue streams, and are supported in building sustainable businesses.

Together with Netflix, we believe the future of podcasting is becoming more dynamic, more visual, and more connected than ever.
