My Question or Issue

I've never managed to find any podcast when I search on Spotify, whether if it's the podcaster name, episode, or specifically by the podcast name. So I tried to get the link from the official website of the podcast. Unfortunately, when I click on the Spotify icon/link I get a message "something went wrong" on my Spotify android and it shows the Spotify home page on the Spotify windows10. I can't even find the podcast category on Spotify.

Please help me to figure it out and let me know if there is anything I can do.

Hey @Esraa99, thanks for reaching out to the Community!

Can you let me know your country of residence? Also, if you have another device nearby - can you see if you can search for podcasts there? 

Keep me posted.

The problem is in both my laptop (windows10) and phone (android) so apparently, it's not device-related, I've tried entering from the official link of many podcasts on both of them, and tried searching on other devices, but all of this didn't figure it out.

 I'm currently in Egypt but I've got my Spotify premium from Saudi Arabia and the premium subscription monthly paying will be done from Saudi Arabia.

Hey @Esraa99, 

Thanks for your reply! 

Podcasts aren't available in all countries, such as Egypt. This may be due to licensing agreements for the region with rights holders.

Also, if you've permanently moved to Egypt, you'll need to activate a local payment method, otherwise, there might be issues with your subscription.

Hope this helps.
