Snapchat’s just for sexting, right? Why would I link an app to my bank account? What makes Spotify so special?

Generation App Logo If you’re used to hearing these questions (or asking them) we’ve got a show for you. GeekWire’s new podcast, Generation App, is a window into the world of millennials, through the apps and online services they love and share with their friends. You can tune in each week to hear digital natives school tech dinosaurs with inside tips and secrets about some of the hottest apps on the market.

You’ll laugh, empathize, and learn a thing or two about tech that seems so natural to 20-somethings and so bewildering to the older crowd.

In our first episode, we take on Spotify, the app that lets you stream and download songs from its vast library. Users can choose between an ad-supported free version and a $10 per month ad-free subscription. Apple, Amazon, Pandora, and a handful of others seek to rival the streaming giant with their music platforms. So what is it that gives Spotify its edge in this competitive industry? Listen below!

Subscribe to Generation App on iTunes or SoundCloud and tune in next week to hear about the ephemeral allure of Snapchat.
