I’m having trouble listening on Spotify
If your premium episodes are locked, you will need to set up your podcast.
Please note that only one Spotify profile can be connected to your podcast subscription, even those connected to a duo or family account.
To set up your feed in Spotify, just log into your account and click the Spotify icon from the podcast set-up page here: plus.thecrimedesk.com/subscription
When you click Spotify it should take you to a confirmation window. Select the show on the confirmation page and click Follow.
If you see an error that says your account is already linked, you may be logged into the wrong Spotify profile or you may need to re-link your subscription.
If you have multiple Spotify profiles, including those on a duo or family account, please make sure you are logged into the one that would have initially been linked to your podcast subscription.
If you would like to switch accounts, or if you only ever had one in the first place, please unlink and reconnect your subscription.
All you have to do is log into the Spotify profile that is currently connected to your subscription, and then follow this URL: https://content-access.spotify.com/
It will give you the option to unlink your subscription. After you do this, you will be able to connect it to the correct Spotify account via your account page.
