Twitter appears to be testing a new section in its iPhone app that's related to podcasts.

A new Podcasts tab has been found in the Twitter app but it isn't clear what it will be used for.

Podcasts are where everyone seems to want to be right now and it looks like Twitter could be the latest to jump in.

Engineer Jane Munchun Wong has been able to uncover a new Podcats app in the Twitter app that appears to be a holding page for something much more interesting. With Apple already big in podcasts and Spotify spending money to catch up, could Twitter be the next to get in on the act.

It's currently unknown exactly what Twitter has planned here, however. While there is undoubtedly the potential for Twitter hosting its own podcasts in a way that's similar to Spotify, it could instead be giving people a way to surface their existing podcasts via a new directory — something more akin to what Apple does already.

Twitter has not announced anything yet, of course, but it does seem clear that something is in the works.

Twitter plans to bring podcasts to the platform
By Kareem Anderson - August 25, 2022

Twitter announced today its official plans to bring podcasts to its big blue app, with integrations rolling out now.

According to an announcement posted on the Twitter product blog,

Starting Thursday, August 25, we’re integrating podcasts into Twitter as a part of our newly redesigned Spaces Tab. We know that some discussions need more than 280 characters, and bringing people closer to the ideas, content, and creators they know and love is core to Twitter no matter where the conversations take place.
More specifically, users will soon start to notice a redesign of the Twitter app that will further highlight the Spaces tab located at the bottom of the app, identified by what already looks like podcast microphone.

As part of the redesign users will now be able to navigate personalized hubs that aggregate similar audio content under themes such as News, Music, Sports and others.

Through Twitter's process, users could ideally curate their podcast content with a series of "thumbs up or down," but it's not clear how long that could take or if the app will host more niche podcasts like Apple and Google Podcasts already do.
