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.

index.js

var http = require("http");
var httpProxy = require("http-proxy");
var modifyResponse = require("node-http-proxy-json");

// Create a proxy server
var proxy = httpProxy.createProxyServer({
  target: "https://api.spotify.com",
});

function hasShow(item) {
  if (item.target.uri.startsWith("spotify:show:")) {
    return false;
  }
  if (item.target.uri.startsWith("spotify:episode:")) {
    return false;
  }

  return true;
}

// Listen for the `proxyRes` event on `proxy`.
proxy.on("proxyRes", function (proxyRes, req, res) {
  modifyResponse(res, proxyRes, function (body) {
    console.log("inbound");
    console.log(req.url);
    if (body) {
      // return body;

      // modify some information
      if (body.body) {
        body.body[0].text.title = "Waasssssup?";

        const newBody = body.body.map((item) => {
          if (item.children) {
            item.children = item.children.filter(hasShow);
            if (item.children.length === 0) {
              return false;
            }
          }
          return item;
        });

        const stripped = [];

        for (let i = 0; i < body.body.length; i++) {
          const item = body.body[i];
          const newItem = newBody[i];
          if (!newItem) {
            continue;
          }

          if (item.text && item.text.title) {
            console.log(item.text.title);
            const t = item.text.title.toLowerCase();
            if (t.includes("podcast") || t.includes("show")) {
              i++; // skip the next block too
              continue;
            }
          }

          stripped.push(item);
        }

        body.body = stripped;
      }
      console.log(body);
    }
    return body; // return value can be a promise
  });
});

// Create your server and then proxies the request
var server = http
  .createServer(function (req, res) {
    proxy.web(req, res);
  })
  .listen(6666);
