They will also learn about their podcasts such as how long people typically listen to one of their podcasts, and at what point they stop.<\/p>\n<p>For podcasters that don&#8217;t have the money or resources of shows like <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/2zBUqgc1ZmvqqEdP4g2jjA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Joe Rogan Experience,<\/a> Spotify for Podcasters is probably the best analytics tool at their disposal. If you&#8217;re a podcaster, this tool is right up your alley.<\/p>\n<p>Spotify also released this video to talk about all of the benefits of the new feature:<\/p>\n<h2>Wait, is Spotify stealing my data?<\/h2>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry,<strong> Spotify is not mining user data<\/strong>. In order to listen to music on Spotify, you need to create an account. This account data is where Podcasters are getting all of their new analytics data.<\/p>\n<p>Also, podcasters aren&#8217;t getting data that links back to specific users. Basically, if you listen to <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0U9S5J2ltMaKdxIfLuEjzE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">My Favorite Murder\u00a0<\/a>on Spotify, the creators won&#8217;t know that you specifically live in the U.S., are a man, and are between 18 and 25 years old. However, they <em>will<\/em> know that at least one of their listeners falls into those demographics.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Spotify\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_optimized,f_auto\/p\/9b57653a-96d0-11e6-8952-00163ec9f5fa\/1056532993\/spotify-screenshot.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Spotify<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/spotify.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Download Now \u25ba<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--80\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"80\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"8\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\">8<\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/spotify.en.softonic.com\/\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n<h2>What does it cost?<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Spotify for Podcasters is free.<\/strong> But it&#8217;s important to note that\u00a0Spotify won&#8217;t host your podcast.
