Why does Spotify shuffle my podcast queue but not give me a button to turn off the shuffle?

[Annoyed12342r]

I'm trying to listen to a podcast and it kept trying to play random episodes. I had to play a music playlist, unshuffle it, and then go back to the podcast to get it to play in order.

Stop pushing podcasts so much if you can't add basic features.

Hi @Annoyed12342r, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

If you've been listening to music in Shuffle mode and you switch to podcasts, the app will shuffle the episodes automatically as well. 

If you'd like to change this in the future, you can leave a vote on this existing idea. The more votes an idea gets, the likelier it is that Spotify will implement it.

If you have any questions, just let us know.

Your hyperlink to the Idea sends you to an "Access Denied" page. Pretty nuts that two years later the issue is still unresolved.
