Spotify launches paid podcast memberships with perks beyond bonus content

What the coverage shows

TechCrunch uniquely foregrounds the revenue split, saying podcasters keep 90% of the revenue, and lists ad-free listening, early access, and bonus content as examples. The Verge focuses more on the rollout, noting the feature is starting in 34 regions and was first announced in May.
