It's one thing to imagine the future of audio, quite another to actually build it-and yet that's what Spotify set out to do over the past decade. Along the way, there's been plenty of previously untold stories filled with colorful characters, product challenges and successes, and many lessons learned. So in our new podcast miniseries,Spotify: A Product Story, our Chief R&D Officer, Gustav Söderström, will bring listeners these insider stories of product strategy and development at Spotify-as told by the people who built it.
'In this podcast, for the first time, we'll pull back the curtain on some never-before-heard stories of Spotify's product journey,' explains Gustav in the series trailer. The miniseries will include 'the secrets and strategies behind our biggest product launches and pivots-from the very first desktop app, built in a small apartment in Stockholm, to the brand-new audio formats we're exploring right now.'
