Essential James Acaster episodes? Really?

[Roosterfarian]

Hi on my home page for some reason I have "Essential James Acaster Episodes with a list of five podcasts. I have no previous, nor future interest in James Acaster, or any of these podcasts really, but for some reason these are being pushed to me on a daily basis. I have nothing against James Acaster, but this is sitting at the top of my app, just under the 'good morning' sections, and whilst everything else on the page seems kinda relevant to me, this selection of one man in a number of podcasts that I am completely indifferent about, seems incredibly out of place. I also cannot find any way to feedback that this is not my interest, nor to remove this block from the front page in any way. So please if you can find time, please can you give us the options of either removing this block completely on the homepage, or at least the ability to feedback to your algorithm, or to customise our interests and artist follows for non-musical people, as this is just invasive and spoiling my experience with Spotify currently. He's just always there.

The "solution" from Spotify is basically "we are not going to do anything about this". Some great solution that is!!!

I don't know who the **** James Acaster is but I wish he would **** right off the ****!
