Using Charles Proxy, use a Map Remote to redirect https://spclient.wg.spotify.com/homeview/v1/home to http://localhost:6666
Then add Charles Proxy to your Wifi proxy.
Install the Charles ca certificate - this is well tucked away inside Android. The OS keeps changing, but if you search for "trust" then from this panel "install cerficate" you should get some of the way.
Then with this index.js
running, the shows and episodes will be striped out.
Now Spotify mobile won't show shows and podcasts.
