How to filter out pornographic podcasts for young family members?

Solved!

How to filter out pornographic podcasts for young family members?

We live in Germany. I allow my son to listen to music that is marked "Explicit". We don't mind the language.
Unfortunately, there are podcasts (sound books) available specifically about adultery / pornographic topics. Most certainly I want to filter these out even if it means filtering all podcasts/audiobooks.
We have a family premium account for years. I see that I can filter only "explicit" content in general. That results in: he still can see (but not listen) the adultery audio books, but he also can't listen to half his music anymore. Please let me know how we can filter out those **bleep** podcasts. Thank you!
I do hope this is possible to resolve and won't force me to jump ship.

Thanks a lot in advance.
Andy

Aleja, your kind reply is much appreciated. I have added my vote to to this idea mentioned above. Yet, I have to agree with some of the other commenters. It's sad to see that this kind of critical topic is simply not yet implemented due to insufficient amount of "votes". I do understand this may be out of your reach. Hopefully there'll be many more parents out there to bring in their vote "to filter pornographic content" for their kids/teens.

 

Thanks again.
