About this episode

STUDY PACK - https://www.patreon.com/thinkinginenglish/shop/study-packs-past-present-and-future-807289



Since being founded in 2006, Spotify has been revolutionising and influencing the way people listen to music, discover artists, and even make careers as podcasts.


At the same time, many people have been criticising Spotify for their use of algorithms and the way they pay artists for their work. 


Today I want to talk about Spotify and consider whether they have been revolutionising or damaging the music and podcasting industries. In order to talk about this topic, and similar topics, we need to understand and know how to use the present perfect continuous tense!


Let’s practise the present perfect continuous and learn about the impact of Spotify over the past 20 years.
