Feature: When dropping a subscription, let us choose to keep downloaded episodes

  Currently when we unsubscribe from a podcast feed, PocketCasts warns us that all downloaded episodes will be lost (and then it correctly does so if we continue).

  I’d love the option to keep those downloaded episodes. It’s a common use case to leave a podcasts but still want to listen to a few episodes even after we’ve unsubscribed. There’s no easy way to do that at the moment, and because some series retire old episodes and we can’t download this, this forces us to remain subscribed until we’ve finished off the backlog.

  Thanks for the feedback! I have created a feature request for this option for our development team’s consideration.
