How do I browse English podcasts when my country is the Netherlands?

How do I browse English podcasts when my country is the Netherlands?

I live in the Netherlands. However, I prefer listening to English music and podcasts. When I try to find podcasts the explore page shows mostly Dutch podcasts. Is there a way to browse the English podcast?

It's so annoying not to be able to see high-quality English podcasts but instead a bunch of local content.

that's a huge problem. and that's the n1 reason i use pocketcasts instead of spotify for podcasts.

2024 and still no updates on this... You have a good AI algorithm: use it to split the podcast by languages and add filter for it! It's ridiculous not to have the podcasts in your favourite language.

Thank you

I have the same problem and I'm sure a LOT of other people do. I also live in the Netherlands, but don't speak Dutch fluently l... I would expect it to make the most sense for Spotify to suggest podcasts to you by taking into account the UI language that you've set. Considering how many people are multi lingual or living in countries where the dominant language is not their native language I'm super surprised this isn't a supported experience

Plan: Free

Country: Italy

 

Device: Windows Laptop

Operating System: Windows 10

 

My Question or Issue: I am living in Italy and love using Daily Drive, however despite my language settings it will only play the podcasts in Italian! I can't use it because I am not fluent in Italian (yet)! How can I change it so I can hear podcasts in the language I want not just the local language??

 

Very dissapointing. It is even annoying to the extrem that although I live in Germany and I dont speak german lenguage when searching for podcast using english keywords I get all results in German.

Probably the reasons is that all those German podcasts still use the english word for the topic they are discussing on the description or on the labels. Making me to scroll down for 2 min straight to finally see some relevant results in English language.

 I do not understand how that feature is not available.
