I couldn’t agree more.

I’m a massive music fan and podcast listener.

Spotify had been my go to for music, but the combination of podcast and music has absolutely killed my experience.

I love both, but when I’m listening to music, I don’t want to listen to podcasts and vice versa. They serve different purposes for me, all audio is not the same.

I’ve recently switched to YouTube Music. I will occasionally use Spotify for podcasts.

Yep. I've been listening to podcasts since Twitter was the podcast directory Odeo. Also, have been djing for much longer so mixing these worlds in Spotify's ever-changing UI is just a mess. I pay for Spotify premium, but now get ads what seems like every ten minutes in the "premium ad free experience" during his podcast. Often, skipping back 15 seconds to hear something again will trigger ads.
