My Question or Issue

One of the reasons why I switched to Premium was to listen to podcasts, but I can't find them anywhere in the app, and the support topics didn't help me with the issue. Then I went to search the net, and some other website said that maybe podcasts aren't available in my country. So here is my question: why, when I didn't have my Duo premium plan, the add of the Spotify itself said that I CAN listen to podcasts, but in reality I can't? If it isn't available, then the add of Spotify, that told us "we can listen to music and podcasts without adds", shouldn't even included the "podcast" part. 

P.S. when it will be available in my country?

Hello @IssaNur  , 
Thanks for reaching out here in our community.
Spotify is constantly trying to reach more and more people around the world. The teams are continuously working to provide the best experience for our customers and adding more and better features. Podcasts are now available in many countries around the globe, which wasn't the case just a few years ago. It is true that Spotify Podcast is not yet available in your country - Kazakhstan and some other countries, but hopefully it will be available there soon as well. Unfortunately, we can't say when exactly this will happen. We keep our fingers crossed that it won't take too much longer!

Hope this helps.
