Yep. I'm a very happy Overcast user, so I will never use Spotify to play podcasts. The podcast panel in Spotify UI makes that part of the screen useless for me.

It bothers me about the same as an ad banner would. Furthermore I'm annoyed at them calling whatever they are doing 'podcasts'. To me, a podcast means an open RSS feed. Even Apple, the king of walled gardens respects this.
