[All Platforms][Podcasts] Add comments to podcasts!

[n8tewill]

I’ve been listening to Podcasts for a year or two now and one of the biggest components of a great podcast is the comment section.

This is vital for a podcasts success because the comment section is where a podcasts community can connect with each other, which gives the podcast a little bit of flavor

If Spotify can add a comment section to its podcasts page, then it will most definitely kill YouTube podcasting and give you guys most of the market share 😉

and i know you guys love market share

You guys just got Joe Rogan from YouTube. You may notice that the comments section on Joe's podcasts was very active. People like to debate and react to things they hear from Joe.

The only podcast I listen to ( and the only reason why I subscribed for spotify) is joe rogan, comments are a way that I have to see if the guess is good

This platform stinks without a comment section.

I joined solely to watch JRE podcasts.

I had a bit of a look around and Spotify has nothing to offer really without interaction I may as well listen to the radio or watch TV.

This platform is a joke.

Comments would be a great addition. It makes podcasts feel more like a community. It gives me something fun to do when my mind wanders or I get bored listening. 

$$$ Hey spotify devs, it gives people a reason to repeatedly go back to the app and stay on it longer $$$

PLEASE ADD THIS

Other platforms have comment sections and it adds SO MUCH to the experience. Majority of podcasts will take questions from their audience and most of those use the comment sections from their most recent episode. And please make sure its comments for each episode, not just a "reviews" tab on their show page. 

I know you guys will eventually add this because it is such an essential thing to have with a podcast.

Hello @user-removed!

It looks like your idea was posted a while ago but, unfortunately, it hasn't gathered the minimum amount of votes to stay active in the Ideas Exchange (50 votes in the first 3 months). I'll mark your idea as "Closed - Not Enough Votes". You can learn more on how the Ideas Exchange works here.

Have a nice day 🙂

Spotify has brought forward some of the best podcasts from across the world to our devices, opening us up to a host of opportunities.

It signed an exclusive deal with Ranveer Allahbadia in India and with other creators from across the world too!
It would be amazing if there was a comments section in it too wherein people could rate the episode and drop in their 2 cents about it. It only increases the value of the podcast. 

Would love to have access to that feature someday. 🙂

Title says it all. Especially for podcasts, where discussion enlivens the topics you just heard. Often comments are a source of expanded information and new perspectives. This is why I still prefer YouTube for podcasts. It's a pity I cannot see the discussion around Rogans podcasts.

Cheers and have a nice day.

Listening 3 hour podcasts feels lonely. Adding comments section would be really nice!

I listen to podcasts on daily basis and sometimes have opinions that I would love to share, and I would also appreciate seeing what other users think on the subject- I suggest a "comments" section on each podcasts so users can comment and interact with each other and the person who uploaded the podcast
