Spotify started putting its "Verified on Spotify" badge on podcasts in May, marking shows that really come from their creator, publisher or brand. A show needs steady engagement, a clean policy record and an audience Spotify has checked is not bot-driven; more shows get it over the coming months.
Spotify also tightened its impersonation rules: podcasts copying another host's likeness without consent, via AI or otherwise, will be removed, and listeners can report them.
The move extends the badge given to musicians in April.
