Facebook plans to go after Clubhouse — and podcasts — with a suite of new audio products

Facebook wants you to start talking, and listening, on Facebook. Sources say the social network is planning to announce a series of products — some of which won't appear for some time — under the umbrella of "social audio" on Monday. They include Facebook's take on Clubhouse, the audio-only social network that grew rapidly last year, as well a push into podcast discovery and distribution, aided by Spotify.
