Spotify has acquired podcast discovery startup Podz to help it build and scale a more optimal search experience, the company said. Podz harnesses machine learning to generate key clips from episodes, giving users the opportunity to preview moments — and thus making them more likely to tune in. Spotify says it plans to fully integrate Podz’s technology by year’s end.
