With just one click, podcast creators can add Spotify distribution to their podcast. There is no charge for podcast creators to participate in Open Access, and subscriber integration is easy. Spotify Open Access benefits podcasters with a subscription program, whether that subscription is free or paid. With Spotify's global scale and wide availability across devices and platforms, podcast creators will be able to reach audiences no matter where or how they're listening. Participating creators can retain full control over their subscriber bases, their content, and their revenue while leveraging Spotify to grow their audiences.

The partnership brings an expanded opportunity for podcast creators to offer premium audio subscriptions on a platform that serves more than 500M monthly active users. Through Spotify Open Access, podcasters who offer paid subscriptions to their shows can now extend those subscriptions to Spotify.
