You dont listen to the Rogan podcast for Rogan (typically) you listen to it for the guests. Rogan has some of the best guests on his show, they are informative and entertaining.Īlso, does the author of this post even know how to skip whole episodes if he doesnt like the guest, or does he know how to 'scrub' (FF or RW) > "Joe Rogan, whose rambling, hours-long podcasts had somewhat confoundingly become the biggest hit in podcasting" Spotify's problem is its abhorrent UX/UI! As another commenter noted, it's amazing how they can spend so much resources when basic table stakes and seemingly trivially fixable UX regressions like this is what will actually drive me away from using Spotify for podcasts. Oh, and also getting a nag-overlay about Google Play Services whenever I try to use Connect, despite my setup not relying on it.Īll these are regressions: They used to work fine but got worse. Pressing "play" or navigating to a new episode will do nothing for 5-20 seconds, despite all necessary data already being downloaded. I've also in recent months noticed weird latencies of downloaded content which is only present when Spotify servers are not reachable (such as when not connected to internet). Sometimes I will even preemptively open the Android Spotify app in the foreground, only to leave the house and later discover that nothing got downloaded. Here's what I expect: If I'm subscribed to a podcast and have it marked as "download", Spotify should sync new episodes as they become available and I will later be able to listen to them offline. I do and my biggest gripe is that offline/syncing of new episodes has been broken for some time now. I do, from time to time go and check if Joe Rogan had any interesting guests, but the bat for me to watch it is much higher then it was on YouTube, where I watched a lot of Joe Rogan, I'd say at least one episode per week!īut hey, we still get clips on YouTube, so that's something ^^ I still remember trying for multiple hours to open my friends most played of the year playlist without success, I still don't know what I was doing wrong, I even tried creating a new account, but it didn't work, while other friends could listen to that playlist without problems, to me it didn't even show.Īs for video the controls felt a bit of and selecting the size of the video was a bit strange too. As for music, I mostly listen to it either locally or on YouTube Music (which can lead to me taking music, that I like, locally).ĭon't get me wrong I tried to switch to Spotify many times but it never stick. I think that YouTube is just that much better for video and obviously that more familiar to me. Joe Rogan's nice just resulted in me watching him MUCH less, I think I watched two maybe three podcasts since he moved there. I like Joe Rogan, but I don't like the UX that Spotify offers, which is why I've never managed to move over to Spotify for music or for podcasts.
