folder podcast

I would like to organize my podcast into a folder.
I love the folder for albums / Playlists I would love to do the same for podcasts.

Hey there, welcome to the Spotify Community!

You can create the same for episodes as well. Just create a folder, then add some episodes to a playlist and put the playlist under that folder. To know more about folders, click here.

Let me know if you need anything else.

Hei I would like to organize the type of podcast I listen to not the episode in them. When clicking on a podcast library is a mess in sorting out categories.

Only episodes can go into folders for the time being but this Idea we have here on the Community may spark your interest.

I finally decided to give podcasts a try, saved some entrepreneur type of subjects on my iPhone. Then went to my Mac to organize by using folders and nope, no can do. lol. Honestly, couldn't believe it, no folders. So #1 Issue for me personally as feedback is it immediately clutered my time consuming playlist folders etc. How do I know which episodes I want to save yet? As a person who has decided to give it a shot is a huge deterrent and simply ridiculous that we don't have the option. PLEASE fix this!

Right now, my playlist folders are neatly organized but I am following something like 40 podcasts, and they're all in the list unless I select only playlists at the top. Sometimes I want news, sometimes I want science, sometimes I want literature. And I don't want to sort episodes, that's a full time job!

Not only can I not organize podcasts by topic etc, but I can't even reorder them in the list. The result is that I unfollowed a bunch of podcasts that I actually listen to sometimes, just because I wanted a tighter list and don't want to have to scroll for a half hour to find the one I want. You might want to rethink your position on this matter.

UGG! Now that Stitcher and Google Podcasts are gone Spotify is really my only option...and it's just a mess! My library looks ridiculous, I can't find anything, and it's not even fun to listen to spotify anymore 😞

Spotify - PLEASE fix this!

Podcasts organized in folders, omfg, what/a/novel/idea... Jesus Christ; do you guys even have a UX/UI team?

Categorization by podcast shows in folders is a must for podcasts. If I want to listen to my news podcasts, I don't want to see them mixed next to my fictional productions. You already have the feature for music and it's the same use case for users. Will not be using Spotify for podcasts until this feature is released.

Spotify, please add this feature! I would listen to more podcasts if I could keep them organized!!!!!! It is so cumbersome to scroll through. Sometimes I want news, sometimes I want comedy, sometimes I want self help. I limit what I follow because I can’t categorize the podcasts I do follow. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Just switch over to Apple Podcasts - you can do this via the "Station"
feature there. It is awesome and haven't looked back to Spotify for
podcasts since (still use it for music.)

I don't understand the decision to make podcast themselves not addable to folder structures. Is it a technical challenge or design decision to only allow episodes to be added to folders?

Everything is well and organised and then on top I have like 50 podcasts, a ugly long list messing everything up. It doesn't makr any sense

I really hope that Spotify will be providing the option to add podcast channels into a folder tho. I am a heavy podcast listener so far thanks to how convenient Spotify links me up with the podcast page, however, as I listen and save more and more channels, it becomes extremely hard for me to find a channel out of the very long list.

Now that I use podcasts to learn about different topics, e.g. language and finance, I am so desperately hoping for a better categorization option from Spotify....

Please add Podcasts Lists/Groups/Folders or whatever. Could even lean into social media and vea able to share these with others

The lack of folders just made this an easy decision. No way I’m investing any more time into moving my podcast library from Stitcher to Spotify until this basic feature is enabled.

Spotify, please update software to allow podcast channels to be saved in folders!! It would be extremely helpful in organizing playlists!
