62: Twitter tests audio tab for podcasts and Spaces - without search feature

This week's #AllThingsAudio is all about the new audio tab on Twitter. The beta feature has started appearing for a small group displaying selected podcast episodes and Spaces alongside one another in algorithmically-driven playlists. But what of the Spaces tab? Where is the search feature? and is this really going to be beneficial to Spaces hosts?
