New UI Unuseable for Podcasts

[Potzki75]

Hello,

I opened up Spotify to listen to my favorite Podcasts today and found the UI had changed. I used to be able to tap Your Library>Podcasts>Shows to give a list of the newest episodes of podcasts that I have subscribed to, then either play the either play the episode directly on the screen, or tap on the show to go to the full episode list to listen to back episodes etc. Now when going into Your Library>Podcasts and Shows I get a jumbled mess of all my podcasts in no particular order, with no options to sort them in any way. There is also a section called New Episodes that does show the latest episodes of my podcasts, but if I tap on the episode, instead of going to the poscasts page wich shows all the back episodes, you can only get to the page for that particular episode. This is a problem with news podcasts and podcasts taht I want to binge because you can only listen to 1 the latest episode, and one you have it will disappear from the New Episodes area.

Is there a way of going back to the old UI? Or reverting to the previous version of Spotify? I understand that Spotify wants to keep there app fresh with new looks and features to keep this interesting and progressing, but not at the expense of usability. Please tell me there is a way to go back to the previous version.
