  I don’t use notifications in Pocket Casts for new episodes or anything, but I do like to keep the queue stocked up so it doesn’t run out of episodes and I’m left in silence. I’d like an option to set the app badge count (seen on the home screen) to reflect the number of episodes to go in the queue so I can add some more before they run out.

  Thanks!

  Hi @aumitche – That’s an interesting suggestion. I’ve added it to our internal ideas board so we can gauge interest and see if it makes sense to add that as an option.

  An alternative suggestion if it helps. You can have the PC widget displayed on the home screen which shows the playlist currently you have, so you easily see when you are getting low on queued episodes ☺️. It’s quite a useful feature. Hope that helps
