BBC Podcasts now Sounds is no longer available internationally

[San28]

Hi - I was on Spotify today looking for BBC podcasts.   It was good to see there were some available but now that BBC sounds is not available to international users like me - can Spotify get hold of some more BBC podcasts?  There will be 1000's if not millions disconnected from BBC Sounds this week all looking for their BBC on other platforms.

Hey @San28,

Thanks for reaching out on the Community! Apologies for the late reply, as we just came across this post.

We've also moved the post to our Help section, as it fits better here, hope you don't mind.

Spotify works hard to constantly add content, but some songs and podcasts might not always be available. Availability can vary over time and between regions, depending on agreements between Spotify and rights holders, such as artists or record labels.

If you can’t find something specific you’re looking for right now, we can recommend checking out the Podcast section, to see if you find anything that looks interesting to you. On desktop, you can access it by pressing Browse next to the Search bar > clicking Podcasts.

We can suggest having a look at this Podcast Charts page as well. There you'll find top podcasts, which you can also filter by region and genre 🙂

Hope this clears things up! Cheers.
