Your podcast interface is terrible

Hey,

Your podcast interface page is dreadful. The older one was better. This new thing you have makes it impossible to find anything or keep track of new updates to shows and favorites in an accessible way. I hate this update. It was designed by people who don't actually listen to podcasts. Fix it.

I agree. Just a minute ago Spotify finished a new episode of a podcast I just played and skipped to an episode of the same podcast from 4 months ago (skipping all the unplayed episodes in-between). This is just weird. Furthermore, I can't understand how to keep listening to interesting radio - there are buttons *everywhere* and literally I don't know where to click. I just quit the app and started playing NPR in my web browser because I can at least hit one button and start hearing interesting journalism.

Just passing by agree with everything. I had to turn down on Google Podcast, which was great. Although I have a premium subscription on spotify it is horrible to queue episodes, to remember which you've listened before (why would you want to listen to a podcast a second time, as you usually do with a music?!), and syncing between devices. All is bad!

The new interface has me scratching my head too. I used to love how simple it was to find my favorite podcasts and track new episodes. Now, I feel like I’m digging through a maze just to get to what I want. It's such a bummer when updates make things more complicated instead of easier.
