Spotify has launched a new podcast dedicated portal called Spotify for Podcasters that allows podcast creators that will give them access to valuable analytics such as episode performance, daily stats on listener demographics, location, engagement, and much more.

Continuing its mission of “democratizing creation for podcasters of all experience levels,” Anchor rolls out Smart Background Music to provide podcasters with "100 beautiful, podcast-ready background tracks" that can be used for free with no commercial restrictions.
