Feature Request: Badges for individual podcasts instead of universal setting
-
Coming from apps like Overcast/Downcast that hide episodes/shows when they’ve been fully listened to or there aren’t any unplayed episodes…badges seem like a good idea.
But then you can only turn them off/on, all or nothing. Having them per podcast would be great. Would allow you to have shows you don’t regularly listen to stuffed away in a folder, and not being notified of every new show that comes in, with the badging. It’d make it much easier to get used to.

Hi!
This is certainly an interesting idea. We’ve logged an internal feature request and we will consider adding this in a future release.
Thanks for your suggestion.

I’d like to throw my support on this idea. My hypothesis is that many podcast listeners have podcasts that are ‘perishable’ (like news podcasts) and those that we are working our way through as time permits.
We’ve all been trained to be very ‘badge sensitive’ as a way to nudge a behavior. Badges, even blue ones, create a small sense of anxiety or of a task not yet completed. I would love to be able to specify “badge this podcast” on a podcast or even a folder level.
