Is there anyone else out there who wants to listen to Spotify podcasts on Android Auto? For the life of me I can't figure out how to do it without pulling the phone and using its screen. If I ask the Google Assistant to play a podcast, Spotify either can't find it or it finds some piece of music with similar words in the title. I've tried "following" a podcast, but there doesn't seem to be any way to access followed podcasts in Spotify's AA interface. The only way I've been able to play podcasts is to use the Spotify interface on the phone's own screen to start them up directly or add them to the play queue, and then plug the phone into the car...

I don't use Spotify, but I do use Podbean and NPR One. Both drive me insane with not having the latest ones available through AA, but if I go into the app on my phone I can pull the latest up. So, I think it's an AA problem.

Tangentially related, I also don't like how you can't browse your google music library through android auto. The car will let me browse the mp3s on my flash drive until the cows come home, but I can't browse my google music library?

Yeap, I've noticed this exact same problem with using Android Auto to replay podcasts. Wish I had a solution, but perhaps just using the google podcast app will suffice.
