I'm in a similar situation at the moment. Somehow Spotify has decided that I listened to a bunch of Hindu music a couple of months ago and now over 50% of my recommended playlists and podcasts are in that genre.

As is the curse of modern technology I don't want to interact with it at all in case the algorithm decides I'm into it and undoes my work retraining my preferences.
