What if they did a better job of segregating music vs. podcasts in the same app? So you can search and "save your place" separately between podcast and music? That's my biggest gripe - I can't just pickup separately between the two, I have to search again, find my spot etc. It makes it tempting to just use a different app for podcasts.

I genuinely can't understand how they haven't fixed this already. If you listen to a podcast and then half way through switch over to music, there is no easy way to resume that podcast you were on, and good luck finding that one episode among the list of hundreds of episodes. It makes me think Spotify employees don't even use the app themselves.
I hate their interface, and there are a number of annoying podcast specific bugs. But for this use case you actually can find and resume your most recent few podcasts. You go to Library >> New Episodes, and at the top under Continue Listening there are your 3 most recent podcast episodes listed which you can click to resume.
