...but over the weekend, I discovered that Anchor users can embed songs from Spotify into their podcasts.

With some notable caveats, all of which are driven by Spotify's relationship with the record labels and artists.

The biggest one for me, which I discovered after recording my podcast episode with an included Spotify song, is that you have to be a Spotify Premium member to hear the entire song. Spotify Free members such as myself only hear a 30 second snippet.

More details here.

The episode that I created with this feature can be heard here.
