Curious podcasts on home screen

[bp64165285]

In the Spotify desktop app, on the home screen, is it normal to see the same set of podcasts promoted all the time?

The reason I ask is that most of the home page is usually content that is associated with my listening habits, yet the page seems to be singularly obsessed with getting me to listen to Nish Kumar related podcasts. (Not a comedian that I can recall paying any particular attention to beyond the odd TV panel show appearance).

Is this likely to be something pushed from Spotify HQ? Or something that is just being erroneously inferred from my listening habits?

Not really a major issue, as it's easily ignored, I'm just curious.

Well... maybe posting here works... after three months stuck on Nish Kumar, it's now moved on to James Acaster, about who I'm equally ambivalent. Oh well, at least it's a change of scenery.
