Enable Multi-Community or Sub-Channel Podcast Structure on Spotify

[Douglaswall]

Hi Spotify team and community,

I’d like to propose a new feature that would make Spotify an even stronger platform for community storytelling and large-scale content networks.

The Problem:

Right now, podcast channels are structured as one feed per show. This makes it difficult for large communities with many sub-groups to organize content under a unified identity without fragmenting audiences across dozens or hundreds of separate feeds.

My Proposal:

Introduce a multi-community or sub-channel podcast structure, essentially a way for a main podcast channel to host multiple independent series or community feeds under one umbrella.

Multiple hosts can publish within the same ecosystem

Listeners can explore community-specific sub-series without losing the main connection

A unified brand or topic (“parent channel”) can house many related voices

Scalable storytelling for large networks (organizations, global communities, groups of interest)

This feature would unlock new ways creators and communities share stories at scale. It would help audiences discover related content within the same thematic universe and could expand podcast reach and engagement, without requiring each subgroup to start a completely new podcast.
