A Reddit discussion of how people organize their podcast playlists.
I use three playlists: One playlist, called “Queue,” is for timely podcasts that I want to listen to that day. These are generally news podcasts.
I have a playlist I call, imaginatively, “Playlist,” that is filled with episodes of podcasts that I know I want to listen to but they’re evergreen podcasts I can listen to any time over the next few weeks.
And there’s the “All” podcast, where new episodes come in.
When I’m going out to walk the dog, or do chores around the house, or driving somewhere, I check the “All” playlist to see what’s new. I move stuff to the Queue, to the Playlist, remove the episode from the “All” list but leave it on my iPhone if it’s slightly interesting, or I delete the episode entirely if it’s of no interest to me.
