Threads is adding features for creators to promote their podcasts

I'm not sure about this upgrade... It's like Twitter is trying to force podcasters onto its platform again. I mean, we've had threads for podcast discussions before, but it was never that seamless. Now they're making it easier for creators to embed links and preview audio content? That's a lot of work for the users. And what about those who don't even listen to podcasts? Is this just another attempt to make Twitter relevant again? I'm not convinced that these new features will actually boost engagement. The platform is already cluttered with ads and noise... do we really need more audio previews clogging up our feeds?

I'm kinda stoked about Twitter's revamp for podcast creators... it's a solid move, but I gotta wonder if they're doing it solely because podcasts are still going strong, or 'cause they actually think they can catch up with Instagram Reels . Either way, I love the audio preview feature - it'll definitely make discovering new episodes easier. But what about engagement? Are people just gonna scroll through and listen for a sec before losing interest? And how's this gonna affect existing podcast threads that aren't link-enabled?

omg, i'm so stoked about twitter's new threads update they're finally recognizing podcast creators and making it easier for us to share our fave shows with our followers i mean, who doesn't love a good audio preview? it's like, the perfect way to entice people to listen to your latest episode without having to click on a link first

i'm curious to see how this'll affect engagement on threads tho... will ppl be more likely to engage with posts that have an audio preview? only time (and twitter's analytics) will tell

you know what's crazy? we spend so much time trying to get people's attention online, but it feels like no matter how many times we try, someone always gets left behind . like with threads trying to make podcasting more accessible... i think the problem isn't that podcasters aren't being heard, it's just that everyone has so many choices now , we need to start valuing the content creators instead of just focusing on getting clicks . maybe this new feature is a step in the right direction, but we should be thinking about how to make it sustainable for everyone involved .

omg can't wait to see if this new feature actually increases podcast engagement on Threads i mean it's been a while since they added that "threads" thing and nothing really changed but hey introducing audio previews is definitely a nice move podcasts are an amazing way to consume content and i'm all for platforms supporting creators more so fingers crossed that this will help podcasters reach a wider audience what do you guys think?
