Spotify Now Offers Video Podcasts

Spotify announced Tuesday the launch of video podcasts on its streaming service.  Paid subscribers and also those with free memberships will now be able to select video contest from a select group of podcasts on desktop or through the mobile app.

Unlike YouTube, where only paid subscribers can keep content in the background while doing something else with a phone, Spotify says that a podcast’s audio content will keep rolling if you need to multitask on your phone.
