Perhaps its the elder millennial in me, when I am on my desktop PC, I like to keep my taskbar clean and not have all these windows scattered about to keep me entertained, gives me a feeling of clutter. I like to have one app that just does everything for me when it comes to audio entertainment, I like the Spotify app for that reason.

Interesting, as an older millennial I hate the podcasts in Spotify.

But that's probably with the forcing podcasts on me when I don't want them rather than anything intrinsic.

I listen to music when I work because it blocks stuff out and I don't need to actually listen to it.

Podcasts catch my attention when one of hosts says something like:

Wait, you can't say that. You'll offend all the furries.

Then I'll have to rewind and listen to understand why they are talking about furries on an F1 podcast. But then it turns out I misheard it anyway.

Maybe it was a function of iTunes rather than an integrated app but I always found it sort of a mess. As I recall the only reason I started using it for music was that syncing from my other music library app just got too cumbersome.

Based on that logic I would expect you to use a web browser and nothing else at all.
