Agreed.

I love podcasts, on my podcast app.

I'm really disappointed how Spotify is buying several big podcasts and moving to their platform exclusively.

I tried to listen to a Science Vs episode the other day, and now my Spotify is almost completely filled with podcasts recommendation. Plus, the experience is still far from specialized podcast apps.

The result: I'll probably stop following Science Vs (and any other podcast that moves exclusively to Spotify).

They could, at least, have a separate Spotify Podcast app so things wouldn't be mixed (kind of like Wealthsimple has separate apps for Investing and Trading).

I'm still sad Spotify bought Gimlet and apparently will do (if not already) this to all their podcasts.
