Spotify is actively trying to enshittify the podcast ecosystem, so you’ve jumped from one bad actor to another. I’ve found that Apple Music and Tidal are both superior to it anyway (and you can automatically move your library between those three services, and more). I prefer Tidal because the recommendations are ridiculously good for niche genres. I think they take things like producers, labels, etc into account.
