Instead, Spotify is releasing pre-recorded podcasts you can listen to at your leisure. The Swedish company is also offering a smaller roster of curators than Apple, at least for now.<\/p>\n<p>The first four In Residence playlists come from Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones and a few other artists. By comparison, Apple tapped stars like Elton John, Pharrell and Drake to host their own shows on Beats 1. So, Spotify\u2019s new feature probably won\u2019t win over many Apple fans, but it\u2019s another good reason for current users to stick around.<\/p>\n<p>You can follow In Residence on Spotify now to catch all the latest podcasts as they\u2019re released.<\/p>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/play.spotify.com\/user\/spotify_in_residence\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SPOTIFY<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">VIA<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.digitaltrends.com\/music\/spotify-adds-new-in-residence-feature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">DIGITAL TRENDS<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spotify may pride itself on data-based suggestions, but the music streaming giant isn\u2019t above\u00a0trying human curators as well.
