Spotify has started rolling out support for standalone streaming through the Spotify app for Apple Watch. With the new feature, Spotify users can listen to music or podcasts from Spotify over WiFi. But when Apple introduced its shiny new 2017 MacBook Pro with three USB Type-C ports, a good old fashioned headphone jack and nothing else it led to a weird little issue: Apple’s standard iPhone headphones with their Lightning plug had no way to plug into Apple’s flagship computer, which lacks one. The Spotify desktop app itself doesn't list AirPlay speakers and, for some reason. The Mac AirPlay option in the menu bar only lists Apple TVs, not HomePods (even weirder because you can AirPlay to a HomePod from iTunes on a Mac).
After Spotify unveiled its first hardware product on Tuesday, it’s today launching a new Top Podcasts and Trending Podcasts Charts feature. This comes as Spotify continues to ramp up its competition with Apple Podcasts.
The streaming service has been focusing on podcasts for a while now. Last month, the company combined music and podcasts in the same place with a redesigned iOS, macOS, and web apps.

Now, the charts are rolling out in 26 markets, highlighting not only the fastest-climbing of-the-moment trends for podcasts but also listing the overall most popular shows in the user’s region based on recent listener numbers.

In the US, the UK, Germany, Brazil, Australia, Mexico, and Sweden, users can dig further into the podcast data and separate out the Top Podcasts by category, which will list the top 200 overall shows in the selected region or category, and Trending Podcasts charts will display the top 50 rapidly rising shows.
The streaming service is also launching an updated experience in Spotify for Podcasters, with creators receiving a notification into a visual card to share across social media platforms, alerting fans to their podcast’s rising status.
