[iOS][Android][Podcasts] Adding indivdual Podcasts to Playlists

[psychokiller81]

The option to save, bookmark or add an individual podcast show to a playlist would be nice to have. I'm actually somewhat surprised that this functionality isn't available.

Voting for this idea! Some of my favorite podcasters don't organize their podcasts by season or I want to refer to a handful of podcasts for a project I'm working on, I'd love to be able to make a playlist.

Also! Sometimes I want to send a few of my favorite episodes of several podcasts to share with friends and if I could make a playlist I could continue to add to it would be much easier to share!

Hello, this has been requested for a while now, is anything being done? Come on Spotify, it doesn't seem like a big deal. Can anyone recommend an alternative podcast app that allows adding individual episodes to the playlist please?

Do you have a timeline for the aforementioned improvements? Spotify is about to lose my podcast attention.

Went to the Spotify community just so that I could post this suggestion but figured I couldn't be the only one thinking the same thing "surprised that this functionality isn't available."

At least the ability to "save" individual episodes to a podcast library in the same fashion you save an individual song to songs library. 

Now I'm even more surprised that this thread is almost 3 years old and it still hasn't been implemented.

Has there been any movment on this. Devices such as Garmin only allow you to download playlists. This makes spotify less usefull as a resource to support fitness watches.

I need a playlist for Podcasts please. I like to downloya few eisodes from different podcasts on a similar subject. Joe Rogan for example has hundreds of episodes and I really don’t need to search through all of them to find the one I want.

Thanks

This is so necessary, it's basic driving safety and should be top priority! I listen to podcasts in one situation (driving 1+ hour to work and 1+ hour home) and music in another (at work when I'm concentrating). When driving, I want to listen to pre-programed list of podcasts that I previously created so I don't have to push 15 buttons while I'm driving. I can't use the queue because that mixes music and podcasts.

Bottom line: No matter how much I want to, I can't use Spotify to play podcasts on the road because:

   1. I can't pre-program a list of podcasts.

   2. It takes too many buttons to get to podcasts in general and then to switch between podcasts when driving.

When you start Spotify it should go straight to "Your Library" instead of advertisements for a bunch of playlists that you or some sponsors are pushing on me. When I click on "Podcasts" there should be a "Podcast Queue" right there on top. Until that happens I'll continue to use my Android based, Podcast App of choice.

(Side note, I have similar issues with car usability when playing music, but it's not quite as bad. A) you have to push too many things to get to a playlist, B) buttons are too small, and you sometimes have to push more than once, or you push the wrong thing. The entire app just makes me entirely uncomfortable on the road.)

Any updates on this issue?

My use case: I'm using the SAMSUNG Gear Fit2 Pro and would like to listen to podcast without carring my phone with me. The only way to do this (at least in the Fit2 Pro), is to download a playlist directly to the smartwatch. As podcast can't be added to playlist, this doesn't work for me…

PLEASE THIS. I lose so many interesting podcast episodes because I have no way of saving them. I'm going to have to use a different app for podcasts because of this. If I could add podcast episodes to a playlist, and if there was a podcast category in the "your library" section, I would be much more inclined to use Spotify to listen to podcasts.

Why isn't this a thing yet?

You'd be able to make a podcast playlist for long journeys or your daily commute!
