Show how many episodes have been added since last time
I have many podcasts where I want to listen to new episodes as they appear and only occasionally listen to an old episode.
Therefore, I'd like the numbers on the list of podcasts to show how many new episodes have been added since I last looked at the list of episodes of each podcast.
The number that is currently showing is not of much use to me, as it always says a high number on each podcast.
I cannot set all old episodes to listened, as I haven't listened to all of them and I want to know which episodes I have not listened to, in case I want to listen to them in the future.
Please add this, to make the numbers be useful.
Right now, I have to go through five or six podcasts manually each time I want to listen to something, to find a new episode.

I came from Castbox and it has a fairly similar feature to this request that I miss.
The way it worked in Castbox, and the way I think I'd like it in Podcast Addict too, was that it was the number of unplayed episodes that were newer than a set date, such as 2 months ago.
That way when a new episode comes out you can pop into the podcast to check out the title and maybe come back to it in a few days or weeks without it losing the "new unplayed" status, allowing you to review several new episodes from multiple podcasts to choose which one to listen to now. -

I think the implementation could go like this:
For each podcast, there is a counter called unseen or new.A podcast is added to the app:
unseen=number of available episodes in the podcastThe list of episodes is shown to the user:
unseen=0The user refreshes while having the list open:
unseen=0The user goes back to the list of podcasts and refreshes. 2 new episodes is found for the podcast:
unseen=2The user opens the episode list:
unseen=0 -
