Deezer’s streaming service now offers podcasts as well as music

Deezer has announced that users of its service in the UK, France and Sweden can now start streaming on-demand podcasts alongside music.

Confirmed today, the move brings a catalogue of more than 20,000 podcasts and radio shows to the platform, including content from organizations like Slate, the Financial Times and Radio Nova, among others.

The podcast search and listening options are available across both desktop and mobile.

The launch follows on from Deezer’s purchase of Stitcher’s talk radio and podcast app in October last year, and the feature is available immediately in the supported regions. The company said it would roll out further “in the coming months.”
