Hey @jonprc,

 

Thank you for joining the conversation. 

 

In the Spotify app, podcasts and albums behave in a similar way. This means that the app will take the podcast show as an entire album and every episode like a song. Taking this into account, the Autoplay feature will not play similar content if you’re listening to the last episode sorted from eldest to newest (the one on the bottom of the list).


 


In this case, if you want to listen to just one single episode and it’s not the last one of the list, you can add it to the play queue instead of playing it directly from the show. This will prevent next episodes from playing after the one you're currently listening to.

Hope this helps. If anything else comes up, the Community will be here for you.

C'mon Spotify, stop ignoring our posts and turn this "treating podcast channel as a album" off. This is utterly crazy for an app to play all night long and when you listen to the newest episode it will then start another, random one from the list! It used to at least turn off after the newest was played and now even this is gone - and that my friends proves that it had been changed on purpose!

When I listen to a fresh podcast and reach the end, Spotify will start playing other podcasts on its own. And it will not restrict itself to podcasts that I have not heard before...

 

I can imagine this is not a problem for music but for podcasts, I find this rather annoying. I do not listen to podcasts as it was background music.

 

Is there a way to turn this behavior off?
