  If my Up Next queue is completely empty and I add a podcast to it, that podcast doesn’t auto download. I have to manually download it.

  However, if there is already at least one podcast in the Up Next queue, every podcast added thereafter downloads properly.

  I’ve tried toggling the Up Next setting in the Auto Download section of settings to no avail.
