Amazon Music has added podcasts to its offerings. More than 70,000 shows, including major titles like “Serial” and
“Pod Save America,” are now available, and there will be exclusive content, including “The First One,” on which DJ Khaled will interview artists about their breakthrough hits. Users can listen on the Amazon Music app, on the web or on Amazon Echo devices, which will remember where listeners left off. According to the Verge, which reported the news last week, it makes
Amazon Music more of a competitor with Spotify, which is heavily invested in podcasts, while Apple has yet to integrate podcasts with its music service.
