I downloaded a podcast series and now episode 19-41 are missing

[#1]

I was half way through an episode - around number 33 I think and now a whole chunk of episodes are missing

Hi there,

Thanks for the post.

Sorry to hear that your podcast episodes have disappeared. There are a few things that might cause this:

• A cache clearing app has removed your Spotify app cache, where the episodes were stored. To avoid this in the future, disable any cache clearing/ optimization on Spotify on your device.
• Not all episodes were downloaded initially. You have to wait until the downloads are complete and the download arrow symbol next to the episodes turns green. 

It's a good idea to run a clean reinstall of the app, following this guide, so that you remove all possibly corrupted app data from your device and have the latest version installed.

Hope this helps.
