My Question or Issue

So Spotify launched in Russia, however i don't seem to able to find any podcasts on the app. Are there plans to add them later or are they availible for premium users only?

Do I understand correctly that there won't ever be podcasts On Spotify Russia? According to this closed idea - https://community.spotify.com/t5/Closed-Ideas/All-Platforms-Podcasts-Podcast-in-Russia/idi-p/5008966...

Hey @zazzz,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please note that the idea was closed due to it not adhering to the Idea Exchange Guidelines, this doesn't mean that the status refers to the implementation of the request. We regularly monitor the Community for feedback and are aware that this is a highly popular user request. As @Jeremy mentioned above its implementation depends not only on Spotify, but other parties as well. Because of this we can't set an exact timeframe for when podcasts will be available in Russia, but we hope that tit will be as soon as possible.

Hope this clears things up.

Take care!
