Spotify says it is rolling out paid podcast Memberships in 34 markets, letting eligible creators sell exclusive content and benefits while keeping 90% of the revenue. Free and Premium listeners can join through a show's Spotify page and access member content within the platform.

Creators can set prices and multiple tiers, offer free trials and export contact information from members who choose to share it. Benefits can include bonus episodes, early access and fewer ads.

Eligibility requires hosting on Spotify for Creators or Megaphone, three published episodes, 100 listeners or viewers, and 100 consumption hours on Spotify in the previous 30 days.
