  Speaking of the sleep timer, it’d be great if it didn’t resume the next morning. Perhaps it could cancel automatically after a set period of inactivity, like 4 hours?

  I use the sleep timer when going to sleep, but sometimes I stop playback manually (via earbuds to avoid looking at a screen). The next morning after resuming a podcast, I’m always surprised when playback stops due to the sleep timer from the previous night. A self-canceling sleep timer would be helpful.

  I can see how that would be nice! I’ve shared your words on this with the team for further consideration as we look to further improve Pocket Casts.

  + 1 Came here to suggest this so was pleased to see it already suggested. Pause a podcast at night, then start another one 18 hours later in the gym and it suddenly ends prematurely…
