Podcast Bonus Episode Filtering

[arisr]

Dear Spotify,

I really enjoy using Spotify to listen to my favorite podcasts. However, I’ve noticed a challenge when it comes to filtering podcast episodes. Some podcasts include bonus episodes that are exclusive to premium subscribers.

It would be incredibly helpful to have an option to filter out bonus episodes for users who cannot access them. This would make it easier to focus on the episodes that are available. 

Thank youuu

Or only show bonus episodes. There are premium podcasts which only put out shorter teaser clips for free which you wouldn't want in your queue/notifications. Should be an easy feature since yo already have the bonus tag and filtering options.

I use Spotify premium on iPhone primarily. I pay for a family premium plan. 

Recently some podcasts are showing locked episodes etc that require an enhanced subscription to the podcaster. 

Redhanded podcast has locked bonus content that require a Wondery+ subscription. 

I have no plans to subscribe to yet another provider. So I really want to not have to see these locked tracks, as they make it seem like I have unplayed tracks. 

Please let me filter out locked bonus content.

I recently noticed some of the podcasts I listen to have started adding bonus episodes that I’m unable to listen to without subscribing

When I try to find a podcast episode I was halfway through listening to or select the next one in the list, I used to sort by Oldest and filter only Unplayed episodes, but now that just shows old bonus episodes

Please could you add a filter that allows me to only see Unplayed episodes that are not bonus episodes so I can easily select the next episode or an episode I was previously listening to

Thanks
