In yet another investment in podcast innovation, Spotify is testing a beta version of polls. These are questions added to select podcast episodes, to make them more interactive for listeners. The feature allows for one poll with just one question per podcast episode. Listeners have the option to answer the poll and if they do, they can see the results accumulated by other listeners. This is on-demand interaction on another level!
