My Question or Issue

Is there any way to stop spotify from suggesting stuff based on your country?

For example , If I want to listen to some podcast almost all of the suggested ones are in my language. I have never listened to a single podcast on spotify in my language and yet it still seems to think I should try some low quality local podcast that I don't care about.

Is there any way to filter by language? Or perhaps change location so this doesn't happen?

Thanks in advance.

My Question or Issue

Hello,

When I search for something on Spotify, I notice that many of the results are influenced by my country or location, regardless of the language I use in the search query. For example, when I type "electric guitar covers" in English, I still get Turkish playlists like "Elektro gitarı iliklerime kadar..." or playlists created by Turkish users, even when the keywords don't really match.

Is there any way to disable these local or country-based suggestions? I’d prefer to see results that more closely match the actual search terms, rather than being influenced by local content.

Thanks in advance!
