Before picking a podcast I have to constantly research whether or not it’s AI generated/narrated. And there is no option to not show AI content. Which is incredibly irritating. I understand that AI is the future and you’re making tons of money I’m sure. But, I’d rather at least be recommended people content and there should be more notices that what we are listening to is AI generated. Can there be an option to turn a feature like this on? It feels pretty sneaky that we are not even seeing that it’s mainly/purely AI generated. ### 3/5 — P *2026-09-01, version 9.1.78* Los anuncios, por lo menos 2😩 ### 2/5 — geeedy pigs *2026-09-01, version 9.1.78* LET ME PICK MY OWN SONGS ### 4/5 — The DJ kinda sucks *2026-09-01, version 9.1.78* The dj is not very adaptive to the listener.

Well aside from no king gizzard. That sucks and might move me to Apple Music. ### 4/5 — Spotify *2026-09-01, version 9.1.78* Adds are a pain but its worth it ### 3/5 — Dj mixes *2026-09-01, version 9.1.78* A real dj mix where the song fade in a out, not just at the end like a real dj!!!
