Amazon Music launches podcasts in Canada

Amazon this month announced the launch of podcasts in Amazon Music, in Canada. Podcasts are available in all tiers of service at no additional cost.

Amazon Music customers can access podcasts in the Amazon Music app for iOS and Android, on Amazon Echo devices, and at amazon.ca/podcasts.

"With the launch of Podcasts on Amazon Music in Canada, our goal was simple: to give customers access to even more entertainment and culture in one place," said Mike Lawless, Head of Amazon Music, Canada. "We're thrilled to offer an elevated listening experience to our Canadian customers, with rich content from some of the world's most beloved creators."

Amazon says Amazon Music is the exclusive home of music-meets-true-crime podcast, and Disgraceland, a show exploring the criminal antics and connections of some of the world's favourite musicians, from the Rolling Stones to Tupac.

According to the study The Infinite Dial Canada 2020, 70% of Canadians are listening to online audio.
