How Do I Get Rid of Podcast Suggestions on Spotify?

If you use Spotify, you may have noticed that it makes podcast recommendations. These recommendations can be helpful when you’re looking for new content to listen to, but they can also be annoying. Fortunately, there are some simple steps that you can take to get rid of podcast suggestions on Spotify.

1. Disable Podcast Recommendations

The first step is to disable podcast recommendations in the app’s settings. To do this:

  • Open the Spotify app on your device.
  • Tap the ‘Settings’ icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
  • Tap ‘Podcasts’ from the menu.
  • Turn off the ‘Show Podcasts in Your Library’ toggle.

2. Hide Podcasts from Your Library

If you don’t want to see any podcasts in your library, you can hide them from view.

To do this:

  • Open your Spotify library.
  • Tap ‘Edit’ at the top of your library screen.

You’ll then be able to select which types of content are visible in your library. Uncheck the box next to ‘Podcasts’ to hide them from view.

Once you’ve disabled podcast recommendations and hidden podcasts from your library, they should no longer appear when making selections or browsing music.

3. Unfollow Podcasts

If there are particular podcasts that appear regularly as suggestions, it could be because you are following them. To unfollow a podcast:

  • Go to its page within Spotify (i.e., by clicking on one of its suggestions).
  • Tap the ‘Follow’ button in the top-right corner so that it is no longer highlighted (i., it’s not following).

Once you’ve done this for each podcast that appears regularly as a suggestion, they should no longer appear as frequently (or at all).
