Recorded Spaces are already similar to podcasts, but just ephemeral ones that endure only 30 days. If a Twitter podcast function is anything like Spotify or Apple Podcasts, users will be able to pick and listen to podcasts at their leisure, rather than being rushed to watch a live Spaces broadcast or listen to recordings before time runs out.
Twitter is just the latest social network to potentially establish another arm to support podcasts as they strive to introduce more services to potentially earn more income. Facebook released a podcast service for select producers last year, while Reddit has only recently permitted recording for its audio-only Talks. The Verge reached out to Twitter for comment but did not receive an instant response.
