Turn Off Podcasts

There should be an option to hide suggested podcasts. I don't want to see them cluttering the Home section.

@Guido How do I submit an idea there? I just see the list of existing ideas, but no option to submit a new one...

There should be an option to turn off podcasts totally - I never use them (in fact, I never encountered something more boring than podcasts...) and, as you say, they keep cluttering more relevant content!

**bleep** link does not allow for adding new ideas. I agree Podcasts are useless to me and I have zero interest in them Thee should be a way to turn them off/hide them.

Jeremy,

The "idea" has been ignored for almost 2 years. If you or another mod would actually post on it to let us know the progress, you may have fewer irate customers submitting support tickets about wanting more curation to disable podcasts.

In case you don't know where the idea is, you can find the link for it here if you actually want to do something about it:

https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/All-Platforms-Podcasts-Option-to-disable-or-hide-podcasts/idc-p/5170899#M215396

Put your money where your mouth is, and actually push this idea through and give us choice, or we'll just find another music streaming service that does listen to its subscribers.

Your move, dude.

I’m cancelling Spotify as I have zero interest in podcasts and they are constantly shoved in my face

I listen to a podcast and I can never click off it or delete it and it is always running. Why is there no way to x out of it?
