Social Radio vol 2

A previous post was talking about how Facebook is creating its own social radio service.
Latest news show that they are actually teaming up with Swedish company, Spotify.
"Spotify's app will allow Facebook users to listen to music with their friends and share their favorites and music listening habits via their profile. Facebook's 800 million users will gain access to music for free, while ensuring that artists are compensated for their work." (theLocal.se)
This seems to be quite a threat to commercial music radio stations.
Does this affect talk radio at all? Will this sharing system increase the spread of podcasts?
