Save an organized grouping of podcast episodes
-
Apologies that I don’t know whether this is a current capability that I can’t figure out or a feature request. I want to curate a set of podcast episodes. This could be from one publisher or multiple. I want to then save that as a group. I then want to be able to recall these groups of podcasts e.g. I might have my favourite podcast episodes group. I want to be able to recall that and start from the beginning at any point in time.
Is this possible? Sorry that I can’t find an easy way of doing it.

Pocket Casts doesn’t currently support a named playlist or saved grouping of episodes spanning multiple podcasts. That said, the mobile apps offer a powerful alternative: custom filters.
You can create a filter that includes specific podcasts and criteria (e.g., starred or unplayed), give it a name like “Favorites,” and save it. This acts like a personalized collection, and you can play all episodes in it at once.
Another option is starring episodes manually, then accessing them through the Starred feed. It’s not exactly a playlist, but it’s a way to corral episodes you want to revisit.

hi!! I’d really love an update for playlists / saved queues.
a prime usecase example is that I want to listen to several audio drama podcasts with many episodes by their in-universe order, which is not a metric available in the metadata of the episodes themselves. I have to manually queue them for these relistens and it is a bit of a pain to do so in the app (searching for the title, adding to bottom of queue). This is frustrating when I use my queue for news during the day and don’t want it to auto play into fiction podcasts while I am working. At night, I always clear my queue so I can put on just a few episodes of a podcast to fall asleep to, and I do not want to use a sleep timer due to the varying lengths of the episodes.
I would love to have a “playlist” that I can set up on my computer in the order i would like that syncs to my phone, not a queue or a filter, for this usecase. I would like to reorder episodes manually in a playlist instead of sorting them by a static attribute in the queue.
This is the podcast i would like to use as an example. You can see the timeline is different than the release order of episodes https://wolf359.fandom.com/wiki/Timeline#google_vignette this is a usecase that a filter simply cannot provide a solution for. The ordering I am requesting is not a filterable attribute nor is it something I want to set up and leave in my main queue.
this is my 6th year of being a yearly paying premium user of your app. The only time I have asked for assistance from your team i was met with an AI email response, which was pretty frustrating. I’d really appreciate it if you addressed this with some transparency and provided an expected timeline for a playlist feature.
thanks so much!

Hi there! Thanks for your feedback about the initial AI assistant reply. While this can help in most cases, I know that the replies may not always answer all of your questions. Please do reply to message and our human support will be more than happy to continue assist.
> I would love to have a “playlist”Please keep an eye out for the next app update, v. 8.0, which includes an update to the Filters feature. In this version you will be able to create a manual playlist, then sort the episodes by Oldest to Newest, or Drag and Drop which will allow you to put the episodes in the in-universe order (timeline).
