Station enabled Spotify Open Access for seamless access to premium content

Today, Station is pleased to announce an integration with Spotify Open Access that will allow users with Station subscriptions to access their paid content seamlessly on Spotify.

Station, a new podcast community platform, joins Spotify in the quest to scale distribution of podcasts, while supporting creators and fostering innovation in the industry. Spotify Open Access streamlines the process for listeners to unlock their premium subscriptions wherever and however they listen.

We are excited to announce that Tanner Campbell’s Practical Stoicism, a show dedicated to bringing Stoic philosophy into everyday life, is already leveraging the new functionality. Listeners of Practical Stoicism can now conveniently access its premium feed on both Spotify and Station, eliminating the need to manage multiple subscriptions. To explore Practical Stoicism on Station, visit station.page/stoicism.

Key Highlights:

• Unified Subscriptions: Subscribers of Station can now conveniently access their premium Station subscription content on both Spotify and Station at no additional cost.
• Streamlined Listener Experience: The Open Access integration ensures that fans have more flexibility in how they choose to listen, discover, and enjoy podcasts and other exclusive content.
• Creator-Centric Approach: The integration reduces friction for creators who wish to share their content across platforms, helping to expand audiences and drive engagement.

Enabling Greater Audio Freedom

This integration makes subscription-based content more accessible. By reducing barriers for listeners and ensuring the content experience is uniform, both Spotify and Station aim to empower creators to reach existing fans and attract new ones.

“Station has long believed that bonus content should be both widely accessible and creator-friendly,” added Cam Pritchard, CEO at Station. “Our integration with Spotify Open Access signifies a major step toward simplifying listener access while supporting the vibrant creator community. We look forward to seeing how this partnership helps more people deepen their relationship with their favorite shows, podcasts, and audio experiences.”

How It Works

Subscription Verification: Existing Station subscribers can link their Station and Spotify accounts providing a seamless crossover listening experience. Once verified, subscribers immediately gain access to premium content on both platforms without needing separate logins.

Availability

The integration is rolling out globally in the coming weeks. Users can log into their Station or Spotify accounts to activate cross-platform access. Please refer to our creator help article here.
