Podcasts still not available in the middle east Region

[31tn3pqbxkagxw]

The Issue:

Podcasts are not available in the free or premium plans in the middle east, which i understand is difficult with licensing deals, however is honestly absurd given more than 2 years of tickets claiming that Spotify is working on it.

This truly is restricting knowledge and flow of information to those lucky enough to be in geographical areas that you have your licensing deals in. 

I hope the people at the the managerial levels at Spotify realize how important this issue is. And how it affects the shaping of minds of generations truly. 

Please up-vote this ticket so it is taken seriously. Thank you.
