My Question or Issue

I am trying to listen to podcasts but whenever I click on the podcasts tab, it does not show any results. Or when I click on a link provided by a podcast publisher, I cannot play the podcasts ("play" button disabled) and it does not show any episodes.

Hey there @AbdullahRaed,

thanks for posting !

Can you please try listening on another device and let me know if the same thing happens ?

However, a quick reinstall of the app tends to do the trick.

Waiting on your update 😃

On my phone it doesnt even show a podcasts tab. Also in the windows app I
reinstalled it twice and it also doesnt show a podcasts tab. I can only see
the tab on the web browser and i cant see any podcasts under it.

Hey there @AbdullahRaed,

thanks for posting !

I had to check your claim and unfortunetaly podcasts aren't released yet in Saudi Arabia.

This is work in progress with no official release date at the moment.

Have a great day 😃

Hey @user-removed,

Thanks for your post.

We understand your frustration.

The content teams at Spotify are trying to bring the full range and library of Spotify to every country. In some regions this takes longer due to licensing and legislation issues.

Don't hesitate to reach out again if you have questions.

We would like a specific answer about Joe Rogan Experience , Spotify has full licensing and shouldn’t have any problem rolling it out in any country , why is it taking so long?

Now it’s two years + one week work in progress. I’m not a technical expert but we live in an age where rolling out podcast services is the easiest thing in the world. I find it hard to believe that it’s taking this long to roll-out this service in Saudi Arabia.
