[Android Auto] Show Podcast in Menu

Submitted by fab_fabian on ‎2017-03-08 08:15 PM
It would be nice if the podcasts menu item would be directly accessible from Android Auto.
At the moment I have to start a podcast beforehand to connecting the phone. After connecting there seems no chance to start podcasts.

Edit: This idea has been reposted here.

Yes, this would be great. I hadn't figured out I could start playing outside of Android auto as a quick fix for now. Thanks for that!

How is this an "idea" and not a "necessary and probably trivial bugfix"?

Add this with automatic updates of podcasts - and the add podcasts that are not associated with spotify and you have my vote!

A car is an elementary place for listening to podcasts. Requireing complex interaction to access an essential feature with an interface that "designed with safety in mind." (https://support.spotify.com/us/listen_everywhere/in_the_car/android-auto/) is weird. When will this bug be fixed?

This!! Pretty please add this. Looking for a similar implementation as Google play music. Please be my only podcast app :)

Yes please. Make spotify a one stop shop.

Just curious why this wasn't part of the MVP for Android Auto.  Had to install Player FM on my phone and subscribe to all the podcasts I have in Spotify just so I could listen in my car.

Absolutely essential to make podcasts directly slectabel in the Spotify Android Auto UI...

Totally agree. Please make spotify podcasts usable for Android Auto.
