One is a collection of my “must listen” podcasts.

Personally, I have three different filtered playlists. You can create smart episode filters based on download status, play state, audio/video, release date and favourite podcasts.įrom the main Pocket Casts menu, tap Create Episode Filter to set your parameters. Pocket Casts has a filters system to help you manage these. You also probably cherry pick which episodes of those podcasts you actually listen to. If you’re like me, then you subscribe to way more podcasts then you could ever listen to. Android users can also change the storage location so all podcasts download to the SD card instead of local storage. Speaking of which, you should also enable Delete Episodes After Playing so Pocket Casts deletes everything as you listen. This way, Pocket Casts deletes old episodes regardless of whether you listen to them. You can also set it hold the newest episode, the last two, the last three and so on. You can also set how many episodes Pocket Casts keeps around by tapping the Auto Cleanup button. You can chose to stream or download new episodes by default. Here, you can change storage behaviour for this podcast. To control the storage usage for an individual podcast, tap any podcast title in Pocket Casts, then the three dots icon in the right corner, then tap Podcast Settings. If you have a phone that seems constantly full, this level of control is useful. Beyond that, you can also set Pocket Casts to automatically delete old podcasts, only download certain recent episodes, or skip downloading some podcasts altogether. On a basic level, this means you can set podcasts to download or stream them. Additional information was provided by creator Russell Ivanovic at the official Pocket Casts website.Pocket Casts is good about giving you a variety of options to manage your storage. Information in this article comes from the author's personal observations in the Pocket Casts app. Users can also see what's about to play next in their Up Next section. Users can see what's downloaded for local listening (offline), at last. Podcasts can be listened to without subscribing. The latest version of Pocket Casts delivers podcasts with great aplomb. Once a certain period of time has passed, the downloaded file will delete itself from your phone. If you're the sort of person that thinks a whole lot of podcasts seem like a good idea when you're browsing on the weekend, then by the end of the week you find you're still inundated by a pile of downloaded files you'll never listen to, timing is your friend. Timing also works for downloaded podcasts, saving your future self a lot of grief from having to delete piles of megabytes you wish you'd not downloaded in the first place. After your chosen time is complete, the podcast will leave archive status. Archive timing be eternal or relatively short – you can set the time for which any podcast is archived in your account. This sets the episode aside from both your podcast filter and your podcast page. Swiping a podcast leftward will archive said podcast. Marking "played" and "unplayed" podcasts are joined in this version by "archived" podcasts. Users can see episode number, season number, and both "trailer" and "bonus" versions of podcasts, per tagging from creators. The way each podcast is listed has expanded in variety. It's worth the effort, and especially worth the effort now that it's in full version 7. I'm able to find new podcasts easily, line podcasts up in a playlist, archive episodes, download, and all that good stuff. Pocket Casts makes the podcast experience simple and intuitive. I've been using Pocket Casts for several years, now, and I can't imagine using any other interface.
