The ability to pick specific podcasts, instead of the entire collection, to create an automatic playlist. Example, I may subscribe to 10 podcast but 4 are must listens, so it’ll automatically put to the latest episode from those 4 in the playlist/queue. While the others i’ll listen at my leisure.

I would like a smart play list that easily and quickly create a list of all uncompleted Podcast episodes from all podcasts I subscribe to. Additionally it could sort the order by “group” or “tag” such that all uncompleted podcast episodes with is sorted to the top. Then all you’d need to do is tag your 4 “must listens”.
