I primarily use Spotify for podcasts. Specifically podcast that I have been following for years, that are now exclusively on spotify. Your podcast interface is abhorrent. I'm ready to give up the Spotify exclusive podcast to go back to a platform that does not serve all of the podcasts that I'd like to listen to. Really, all you have to do, is make it easy to see which of my subscribed podcasts have new episodes. Create a setting that allows me to make podcasts that have been listened invisible
