Creators can use Anchor to record and then choose from <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-on-spotify-playlists\/\">Spotify\u2019s <\/a>whole catalogue to add music to their dialogue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to create a Music + Talk show with Anchor\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aFhj3NqheJ0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-can-musicians-and-producers-tell-when-their-track-is-finished\/\">Artists <\/a>have embraced the format. For example, Tame Impala\u2019s Kevin Parker broke down <em>The Slow Rush <\/em>album in <em><a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/episode\/6fPszJw8Rt2vL4ecIGJF7w?si=oP5Wb1tCRSm6J_o80nLqnQ&amp;dl_branch=1\">The Slow Rush: A Deep Dive with Kevin Parker<\/a><\/em>, giving fans a peep into his creative process.
