I was like this too until last year when I finally found a podcast which told me something new. Most podcasts just recycle the same rubbish, and I think that is a real problem.
Anyway, I now think it's fine to have the podcasts in the same app; I honestly wouldn't want to switch to another app on my phone to switch to real music after listening to a podcast. Should be toggable though for people like you.
- mh- 4y agoI'll never know, because I'm afraid to click on a podcast in Spotify for fear it will shove more of them in my face. Using Spotify in CarPlay, for several months it used up most of the screen real estate to promote podcasts. When I open Spotify it's for music discovery, and the number of podcasts I'm interested in listening to at that moment is zero. edit: in case it's relevant, I pay for Spotify Premium. This isn't a complaint about ads in an ad-supported product.
- jmuguy 4y agoOh it will 100% show you even more podcast spam if you accidentally interact with any of it.
- gibspaulding 4y agoYep, it definitely gets worse if you interact. After a week or so of Spotify recommending a podcast on my home screen with the shape of a penis as it's cover image, I finally got annoyed enough to start looking for a "I don't want to see this" button. I never found one, but I spent enough time poking around for the cast to somehow get promoted to one of "my shows" with an even more prominent place in the UI.
