About
In October 2022, Spotify laid off under 5% of its podcast division staff as part of a strategic restructuring, canceling 11 original podcasts from its Gimlet and Parcast studios. This move, the company's first group cancellation, aimed to streamline its content slate by removing underperforming shows to focus resources on strengthening its lineup of hit original and exclusive podcasts. While the exact number of employees affected was not publicly disclosed, the layoffs were a targeted cut within the podcast team, with some staff being reassigned to other projects. The decision reflects a broader industry trend of refining content offerings for greater impact, as Spotify continued to expand its audio empire, which included over 500 original and exclusive podcasts across its studios at the time.
