The last thing I ever wanted from Spotify was audiobooks or podcasts. We've had excellent apps available for several years already, we don't need half assed bloat added to (very poorly) replicate the same features

It's the dumb goal of tech bros to create an "everything app" that does everything you want.

Without podcasts I am not sure I'd still use Spotify

Why not use a free/cheap pocketing app designed for it specifically? All the podcast apps I've tried are far better than spotify. UI-wise at least.
