LOS ANGELES — Spotify on Wednesday unveiled a series of new podcasts, partnerships and features as part of its effort to dominate in all things audio, despite recent challenges and controversies in the space.
At an event near its offices in Los Angeles' Arts District, the Swedish music streaming giant unveiled a partnership with popular online content creator Markiplier — whose shows "Distractible" and "Go! My Favorite Sports Team" will launch exclusive video episodes on Spotify.
The company also announced a scripted Batman spinoff series called "The Riddler: Secrets in the Dark," starring Hasan Minhaj, who played the villain in last year's scripted project "Batman Unburied."
