On a basic level, this means you could set podcasts to download or stream them.
If you have a phone that seems constantly full, this level of control is useful.
Here, you might change storage behavior for this podcast.
you might chose to stream or download new episodes by default.
you could also set how many episodes Pocket Casts keeps around by tapping the Auto Cleanup button.
This way, Pocket Casts deletes old episodes regardless of whether you listen to them.
Head to controls > Playback and youll see an option to customize these.
Long press the episode title from the new releases screen and select Add to Up Next.
Tap the playlist icon from an individual episode page.
you could always access and reorder you queue by tapping the currently playing episode then swiping left.
You also probably cherry pick which episodes of those podcasts you actually listen to.
Pocket Casts has a filters system to help you manage these.
From the main Pocket Casts menu, tap Create Episode Filter to set your parameters.
Personally, I have three different filtered playlists.
One is a collection of my must listen podcasts.
Finally, I use a weird hacked together system to cram different multi-part episodes into their own playlist.
I use this for shows likeDan Carlins Hardcore HistoryorYou Must Remember Thisthat have topics that span multiple episodes.
I then go through and star the individual episodes in that series I want to listen to.
Its a little convoluted, but its the best way Ive found to keep track of multi-part podcasts.
Tap an episode of a podcast to play it.
Tap the circular button in the bottom left corner.
Trim Silence and Volume Boost are only available for downloaded episodes.
The web player doesnt have all the features as the mobile apps, but it does the job.
I also suggest using thePocketcasterChrome app, which turns the web player into a Chrome app.
Now its about finding the time to actually listen to them all.
