There are millions upon millions of podcast episodes out there and it can be tough to figure out what to listen to and when. The Pocket Casts to help users make sense of it all.
This is being advertised as a “new way for listeners to organize, sequence and customize episodes across all their favorite shows.” The idea of a playlist isn’t new by any stretch, but it’s not typically an option on podcast apps. As a matter of fact, Pocket Casts says this was one of its most-requested features.
The platform says this tool is great for “building a morning news lineup, curating interviews to study a topic or creating a queue for a long flight.” There’s a manual option but also an automatic Smart Playlists feature that gathers episodes together based on pre-determined rules.

For instance, episodes can be collected and sorted by release date, duration and other factors. This replaces the pre-existing filters tool. I can absolutely see this being useful on a road trip when you don’t really wanna fiddle with a phone and would rather just let the podcast episodes flow into one another to create a Conan O’Brien-induced driving zen state.
The playlists tool is available right now. This is just the latest move by Pocket Casts. The service recently for accessing its web player and desktop app. We love it when things get cheaper, don’t we folks?
