Currently, there is no other way to start the playback of a podcast other than using the /me/player/play and the podcast's show context uri. However, this always starts the podcast on its first episode. It is not possible to play a specific episode by its episode context uri.
Currently, my workaround is to create a playlist to which today's episodes are added to and playing that playlist.
Hey @Watermarkhu, help's here!
Hmm, let's see how we can solve that! Could you try to play the episode with the URI parameter? There's some more information on how to use that here: https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/player/start-a-users-playback/. Let me know if that works! 🙂
Have a good one and happy coding! 🙂

That is not possible.
According to the API: "Valid contexts are albums, artists, playlists.". However, show contexts does seem to be supported. However, requesting a show via its show: context uri does not lead to a constant result in which episode is played. From what I can't tell, it plays the oldest episode of the show that you haven't yet listened to.
Episode contexts are not supported. Requesting it via an episode context results in the following error
{ "error": { "status": 400, "message": "Non supported context uri" } }
Don't mean to grave dig, but figured it was better than making a duplicate post. Has there been a work around for this?
Trying to build a simple web app that plays plays podcasts in episode release order.

Yeah, I'm on the same journey that @alntng
is it still not possible to playback episodes? it would be great if we could 🙏
Please add 'episode' to playable URI types!!
Hey Spotify Team, please add the ability to play Show Episodes through the Player SDK / Web API.
Using spotify:episode:[id] URI results with a (400) Non supported context uri response.
