If you’ve been juggling Apple Music for songs and a separate app like Pocket Casts or Stitcher for podcasts, it might be time to streamline. Spotify Premium bundles both into one interface—making your listening experience more seamless, less expensive, and surprisingly customizable.
Music and podcasts in one place
Spotify isn’t just for music lovers anymore. Over the past few years, it’s invested heavily in exclusive podcast content, from Joe Rogan to original narrative series like Serial Killers. With one app, you can jump from a music playlist to your favorite podcast without switching platforms.
Better discovery with blended algorithms
Spotify’s recommendation engine doesn’t just feed you songs—it suggests podcast episodes, hosts, and themes based on your listening behavior. This cross-pollination helps you discover content you might never find using separate apps. Features like “Daily Drive” and “Your Daily Podcasts” blend music and spoken word in a single playlist.
Is it cheaper than using separate services?
Absolutely. Spotify Premium costs $10.99/month (with student and family plans available). Compare that to paying $10.99/month for Apple Music and another $5+ monthly for a podcast app with premium features or ad-free listening.
To save even more, you can get cashback with a Spotify gift card when you buy it through Fluz. This lets you skip monthly billing while still earning rewards for the exact same listening experience.
Spotify Premium extras
- Download episodes and playlists for offline listening
- Ad-free playback on both songs and podcasts
- Curated mood and activity playlists
- Support for smart speakers, cars, and more
What about audiobooks?
Spotify recently introduced audiobooks in its Premium plan, giving users 15 hours of free listening per month. While still new, it’s another reason Spotify is becoming a one-stop audio shop.
Bottom line
If you value simplicity, discoverability, and savings, Spotify Premium is hard to beat. Instead of managing multiple apps and payment cycles, everything’s under one roof—with potential cashback benefits when you prepay through services like Fluz.
