I do. It helps to have it all in one place. Also since I’m paying for Spotify, I’m glad I’m not paying for another separate podcast service, and it feels like I get my money’s worth. Probably listen to a good 3-4 hours of podcasts per week and another 20-30 hours of music. If I was JUST doing podcasts, I’d probably use another service but it’s nice to have it all in one place that behaves the same for me in the car.
Do people generally like having their podcasts and music on the same app? I never understood why so many music apps added podcasts.
Easy, more user analytics.
They added podcasts because it is comparatively cheap (they don’t have to pay the record labels any royalties).

Because there is a lot of shared stuff… so it’s cheap to be added to the app, that’s why.
That has absolutely nothing to do with it, its about more user analytics to cash in on.
