Twitter has launched a new feature that allows its users to listen to podcasts within its app. Podcasts are now available to stream directly from the Spaces tab on Twitter, the social media giant said Thursday, according to the German News Agency.

Spaces is the service launched by Twitter to rival the social audio app Clubhouse.

From the podcasts hub in the Spaces tab, you'll find automatically suggested podcasts based on your Twitter activity, according to a report by the CNET website.

For instance, if you regularly interact with content from a particular publication, you'll likely see podcasts from that publication. You can also give a podcast a thumbs-up or a thumbs-down to further customize which podcasts Twitter suggests.

"Starting today, the reimagined Spaces Tab, including the addition of podcasts, will be visible to a group of global English-speaking audience on iOS and Android," Twitter said in a blogpost on July 28.
