Couple of things. What are White Noise Podcasts?.
Spotify only started to offer Podcasts (got annoyed them pushing them in the recent UIs) a while back didnt they?. Imagine many people who use podcasts for any length of time actually use another service or app (in my case Podcast addict and now Antennapod). I used to use Spotify premium for music only.
Thanks for all the recommendations further down for alternatives but how many offer mainstream music/download purchase etc?
White noise podcasts are usually an hour or more of literal white noise.
Many people have been using Spotify for podcasts since they were introduced to the platform in 2015. The app has features specific to podcasts, and why wouldn’t you want all your audio entertainment in one place?
why wouldn’t you want all your audio entertainment in one place?
Because Spotify is known to track and sell your listening habits. It’s fine (for me) that they track that I listen to AC/DC right before Ghostly Kisses. Music is music. A person’s podcasts can get a lot more personal. Politically, emotionally, and religiously personal. I don’t like to be profiled.
why wouldn’t you want all your audio entertainment in one place?
Your desire to have a product function in a specific way does not magically reprogram the product to meet your expectation. This is a classic IT end-user issue.
Here is program X, which does Y
I want the program to do Z and will attempt to use it for that purpose despite the developer warning not to do that thing
Spotify podcasts are not sleep aides. They’re going to enforce it if you don’t get the hint.

Because not all my podcasts are on Spotify. Because they don’t seem to have RSS feed support
