Say hello to ‘Greenroom’ AKA spotify’s new live audio app.

It’s Spotify’s first real attempt at creating a social media platform, allowing people to host live conversations about sports, music and culture.

Spotify users worldwide can join or host live audio rooms, and optionally turn those conversations into podcasts.

It’s also announcing a Creator Fund that will help fuel the new app with more content in the future.
