My Question or Issue

I have playlists where there's a mix of podcast episodes and songs. My problem is that podcasts episodes are being skipped and it goes right to whatever the next song is. The only way to play podcasts is clicking on the episode (and the podcast episodes are important for the narrative of the playlist). I have been playing these playlists for a while now and they worked just fine, until now. I've also tried with other users and they do work ok. It's specific to my main user (even on mobile and web versions) and other people may be experiencing the same issue. I won't use other accounts, as my main one is the only one that has Premium, so. Any ideas?

Hey @TomRenti,

Thanks for reaching out about this in the Community!

Can you let us know if podcasts episodes play normally on your main account if you add them to the queue or play the automatically from Your Episodes?

Cheers.

Hey Alex! Yes, they are played normally in those cases.
