You Can Now Listen to Live Audio Content on Facebook

Could be big for radio, podcast broadcasters

Facebook Live isn't just for video. Today the social network launched a new feature dubbed Live Audio that lets users listen to broadcast voice recordings, pushing more audio-only content into newsfeeds.

Similar to Facebook Live videos, users can go live from the Facebook app by pressing a button. Once a recording starts, Facebook creates a post using a Page cover image. The post is then pushed to newsfeeds and people can listen to the audio content as they browse through Facebook.
