That you have followed or listened to a podcast in Spotify is what makes you different here.

I have never listened to a podcast on Spotify, despite being a user since the invite-only days, yet the UI recommends podcasts at the same frequency as you've described.

I imagine many of the other people here do not want podcasts to appear anywhere in the Spotify UI.

Never listened to a podcast on Spotify and on my Home screen i have to scroll quite a lot (its like 10 row, pretty much in the middle of Home screen in my case) to see one row "Episodes for You" and one row of "Shows to try". Don't see how it is "pushing podcasts".

I've never listened to a podcast and have zero podcast related content on both mobile and desktop. There is one audiobook recommendation section, the 9th section down.
