I have had the same problem for the last days, my whole list of previously listened episodes is gone, no green checkmarks appearing on my list anymore.

The same thing is happening to me on my macbook pro desktop spotify app! super frustrating because now I don't know where I am in all of my podcasts! The app on my iphone is fine though for some reason and still have everything marked as finished. If i try to mark something as finished on my desktop app, the checkmark will disappear after a while.

Sounds like I'm having the same issue as all the other folks.  I have noticed for a little while now that my episodes marked as played have not been syncing between Android app and desktop.  Today I noticed all podcasts on desktop no longer have them marked as played.

I'm dealing with the same issue on my desktop client, running in Windows 10. So far Spotify's support gave me standard answers from their troubleshooting guide which were of no help at all.

I am also having same issue on my Lenovo laptop.  Although all my episodes are marked as played on my Spotify app on my iPhone?
