Yes, I'm using it. I first started using Spotify for podcasts but those idiots (sorry Spotify) don't let you disable the auto play so it automatically starts a new podcast after you finish one. At least on the free tier. I then switched to Google. The reason I care is that I often listen to podcasts when I'm in bed at night as it helps me sleep.

For me, Spotify on Mobile has a sleep timer functionality and one of the options of "End of episode". I do have premium so cannot confirm if it exists on the free tier.

The autoplay is extra annoying when listening to an older episode too. When you go to the full list it automatically jumps to the one last played. Scrolling long lists in Spotify is very buggy.

The only way to fix it is mark the newly-started episode as played, then mark as unplayed. So many extra steps that shouldn’t even be necessary in the first place.
