Spotify today announced a new star rating system for podcasts. This rating system will improve podcast discoverability by highlighting shows’ popularity.

Spotify will allow users to rate a podcast only after listening to it. Like most of the app stores, users can rate using a 1–5 star system. Spotify will also display the average rating on the podcast’s show page on Spotify, along with the total number of ratings the show has received.
