Do people generally like having their podcasts and music on the same app? I never understood why so many music apps added podcasts.

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.

Why would you pay for a podcast service?

There are a bunch of podcast client apps that are free to use, some are open source, and they are utilizing indices such as podcastindex.org to give you access to podcasts.

I see what you're saying. If for some reason podcasts became untenable on Spotify or inconvenient for me I would probably look more into a service like that. As it is though, my 2-3 hours per week are fine on Spotify. Good to know there are other options out there though.
