Hi Friend,

Suze and I are back this week with our first episode of All Things Audio for 2022. Thanks for your patience while we took a couple weeks off. Fortunately, the social audio scene was relatively uneventful in that time. But boy did we have plenty of interesting news this week!

  • Twitter introduced restricted Spaces and a new topics bar

  • Clubhouse added bookmarks for replays and started rolling out web-listening

  • LinkedIn launched its own social audio feature

  • Spotify seems to have missed the boat with Greenroom

Now here's this week's roundup of super useful tips, advice, and resources to help you #GetSocialSmarter.
