Your commute just got a little more enjoyable

It’s well known that Spotify’s algorithms are state-of-the-art. It’s how they’ve accumulated 217 million active monthly users.

If you’re unfamiliar, Spotify’s algorithms are similar to how social media platforms choose posts for the top of your feed. Spotify picks the songs it thinks you want to hear and makes personalized playlists for you.

Their newest personalized playlist? Your Daily Drive. It mixes music and news, placing short-form podcast news updates from WSJ, NPR and PRI in between songs.

Updating throughout the day to keep things fresh, Spotify gives your commute a reprieve from dreaded station toggling.
