  I have a lot of podcasts with hundreds of unlistened episodes, and don’t necessarily want to go in chronological order. It would be cool to have a “Surprise me” suggestion page of episodes from my followed podcasts.

  Hi there, @tuvsheeo! Thank you for this suggestion. This is very similar to the Up Next Shuffle feature available on the Pocket Casts Plus plan. With this option the episodes in your Up Next queue can be played in a random order.
  
  I’ve added your vote to a feature request we have for adding shuffle to Filters. That may fit better with what you’re describing.
  
  Again, thanks for your feedback!

  That’s a fun idea! A “Surprise Me” feature would make discovering episodes way more exciting, especially for big libraries. It’d be like shuffle mode, but for podcasts — I’d totally use that.
