Tarantino takes over Spotify
Columbia Pictures have teamed up with Spotify to help promote Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated new picture, ‘Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood’ with a comprehensive takeover of the platform’s TV & Movies hub.
The focal point of this takeover is a four-part podcast Tarantino recorded with Rolling Stone’s David Wild where the film’s soundtrack is discussed in depth track-by-track. Alongside the playlist, users can check out Tarantino’s guest curation of Spotify’s Film and TV Favourites playlist.
Radioplayer, the international radio platform backed by public service and commercial radio groups, has partnered with BOSE to bring high-quality radio streams to their home speakers.
The integration will make all stations available to listeners with BOSE SoundTouch and Soundbar speakers, across the 10 countries currently part of the Radioplayer platform.
