  Hi,

  I’m often using the Up Next queue to listen to new episodes. I have some shows automatically added to Up Next, but I’d love to have some more granularity on how they’re added.
  

  There are many episodes in my queue that I mean to get to, but aren’t as urgent as weekly episodes of the shows I follow. This makes the bottom of the queue not a great place to add stuff automatically, as it’s below a bunch of stuff that will take me a while to get to. The top of the queue is also not great to add stuff automatically, as that will disrupt my immediate listening plans.

  I’d love to be able to specify a ”weight” to each show, so that I can set the to add to the top of the queue, but always below existing episodes of a higher weight and below previous episodes of the same weight or episodes of the same show.
  
  Likewise it would be good if an episode could be automatically added to the top of the queue, but below any episodes that were manually added to the top.

  Thanks for the thoughtful feedback about how to manage items in the Up Next queue! I have added this suggestion to our feature request to improve Up Next. Our team will take this into consideration as they plan for future app improvements.
