Not the parent commenter, but there's a lot of features I like out of Pocket Casts that Spotify doesn't do as well. - Queuing/auto-queuing to a next-up playlist (with features like add to start or add to end) - Faster playback (e.g. listening at 2x speed) - Alerts when new episodes drop to a given feed It's very configurable and works well. Also, I just dislike having to abandon my music queue when I listen to a podcast on Spotify. It's nice to have music playing at home, pause it, go for a walk listening to a podcast, finish the walk, then resume the same song/playlist at home.
