With Create, it is possible to easily add a podcast which is hosted on Spotify, to your website. This might be a podcast that you have recorded or one you would like to share on your website as interactive content.

The process of adding the podcast is quick and Spotify will generate a widget for you so visitors will be able to listen to the podcast right from your website.
