Can someone explain to me why I would want to use the new podcast feature on Spotify? (Instead of just using the Podcasts app on my iPhone?)

Appartently you cannot add podcasts to playlists. (And you can't even get to the podcasts on the desktop app.) So what's the point? Finding podcasts on the Spotify app was confusing. To add an extra level of confusion, Spotify calls them "audio shows". (They were concerned if they called them "podcasts" people may actually find them.)

But now that I found them, what I am suppose to do with them? I listen to a lot of podcasts but it would be too difficult to browse and launch them from Spotify. If you were able to add them into playlists, that would be sometining worthwhile but you can't. Spotify has an "up next" option but its identical to the iPhone Podcast app.

Podcasts are so difficult to get to and browse through on Spotify that its easier for for me to to switch over to Podcast app on my iPhone.

Am I missing something?
