Q&amp;A and Polls are one way for podcast creators to interact with their listeners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-add-polls-to-podcasts-to-get-listeners-involved\/\">experimenting with the format<\/a>, now all Spotify listeners can answer polls and Q&amp;A sessions. Questions can be answered by creators in subsequent episodes, creating a discussion around the series that&#8217;s contained within <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/how-to-get-on-spotify-playlists\/\">Spotify <\/a>rather than on <a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/10-top-tips-for-musicians-using-social-media-2021\/\">social media<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re an Anchor creator, you can post questions and make a podcast poll yourself.
