How do people listen to podcasts on spotify?

[star_not_save]

Hi All, I've been using Spotify for a long time to listen to music but I havent used it for podcasts because in the past it hasnt been very good. So I'm checking back to see if they have fixed it yet.

Basically, I want to look in a single place in the morning, and see all the usual podcasts I listen to, and their most recent episodes.

Currently, the closest thing I can find is, on my phone, there is a section that shows recent podcasts and that sort of works but not really. When I get into my card and android auto starts, Spotify gets much worse. There seems to be no way to find what you're looking for, it just kind of randomly shows you some things you can pick from. Some things will be individual episodes that you listened to 4 years ago.

It seems like you can add episodes to a playlist but not a podcast itself. You can "follow" a podcast but its not clear what that does. There doesnt seem to be a place where you can see all the podcasts you are interested in. You pan pin them, but you can only pin four podcasts.

Does anyone have any tips or should I assume Spotify still doesnt work well for podcasts?
