[All Platforms][Podcasts] Podcasts folders

[SL30]

I would like to see the ability to put whole podcast shows into folders to be able to organise them better. the same way you can do with episodes or music albums.

It's annoying how messy it can get if you listen/follow podcasts. It would help to be able to put them in folders but still get new episodes

Spotify is impossible to use for a large number of podcasts, as they can not be sorted and simply clutter the library one by one. This makes the library pretty unusable after a certain number of podcasts are being followed.

Unfortunately, copying the episodes into a playlist (as I have seen suggested elsewhere) is not an alternative option, as it does not automatically update with new episodes.

Hi, I use Spotify every day, and I love listening to podcasts. But sometimes, I can’t find the podcast channels I follow because this part is so confusing and not tidy. I want to use folders and add my podcast channels there, so I can categorize them by type."

Guys, CLEARLY Spotify doesn't cares about this or it's not in their list of improvement they're going to work on in the short term, therefore let's stop adding unnecessary comments. It's very clear they're not reading this

It bothers me that I can't organize my favorite podcasts and artists into folders. Right now, all liked artists and podcasts are just thrown into one big list, making the experience cluttered and unorganized.

I love structure and clarity, and without a way to neatly categorize my favorites, things quickly become messy. This makes me less inclined to like new artists or podcasts because I don’t want to lose my overview.

A simple solution would be the ability to create folders or categories, allowing me to organize artists by genre and podcasts by theme. This wouldn’t just improve my experience but also encourage me to discover more new content without worrying that my library will turn into chaos.

It does not seem like Spotify currently enables you to drag-and-drop podcasts into made playlists. I understand if this is to prevent podcasts and songs intermingle, but then at least make a specific kind of playlist that's optimal for me to drag and drop playlists it. It doesn't have to be specific podcast episodes, but rather podcasts themselves. Perhaps enable a "shuffle play" that would allow for users to listen to random podcast episodes from either (a) that one podcast creator, or (b) shuffle play one podcast from one creator to another for some variety. 

I have never been into podcasts, largely because I've felt like I cannot organize them on other sites. Getting into podcasting feels so overwhelming, so I'd like to be able to better manage what-and-how I start to listen.

Hello Spotify Team,

I’d like to suggest a new organizational feature that lets users create themed folders where they can add both podcasts and playlists. For example, I could have a “Japanese” folder containing a beginner-level podcast, a language-learning episode, a news bulletin, and even a Japanese music playlist—all in one place.

It would also be incredibly helpful to be able to manually reorder the items within each folder, so you can control not only what you add but also the sequence in which you listen.
Also, I just want to say that Spotify is an amazing platform, and I really appreciate that you give us the opportunity to share our suggestions.

Thank you for your continuous efforts to enhance our Spotify experience. I look forward to hearing your thoughts!
