Podcast episode length and release dates not showing on Android

Device: Samsung Galaxy 10e

Operating System: Android

My Question or Issue:

Don't know if it's due to a recent update, but the majority of podcast episodes no longer display the episode's release date, or the length of the podcast. Both used to be prominently and clearly displayed.

Although I can access the missing info by clicking the episode's three horizontal dots and choosing "Go to episode," this extra step shouldn't be necessary.

Furthermore, after accessing the missing info, clicking the "back" arrow rarely returns me to my place in the podcast queue. As often as not, I'm sent back to the top of the podcast listings, and have to scroll through dozens of episodes previously bypassed in order to find my place in the queue again — an annoying waste of time.

So those are my requests:  (1.) Making the date and length of podcast episodes clearly visible again, and  (2.) Making it possible to scroll the day's recommended podcast listings without being bumped from the queue and having to start over. If you could look into these issues, I'd be most grateful.

Thanks for your help.

Hey @BrooksNYC,

Thanks for reaching out.

We've checked on our end but the release date and length of podcast episodes show up correctly and the position in the episodes list is retained after going back. Have you noticed if the two issues happen with specific podcasts? If yes, please send us a few links so we can test again.

Also, if you haven't already, try some basic troubleshooting like: 

• logging out and back in a couple of times 
• clean reinstalling the app
• testing with a different account/device

If that doesn't help, let us know your exact Spotify app version.

Keep us posted.
