Played items dimmed
So far, I love this. I have one problem, however: a green check mark appears on the thumbnail of a played podcast. This is the only way something is marked as "played," and it doesn't help me. I can't tell at a glance which things are unplayed. If anything, the green check mark only makes the podcasts I've already listened to more visible. They should be less visible. There's just not enough of a distinction between the appearance of a played vs. unplayed item.
Instead, podcasts marked-as-played should be dimmed or faded out in the list, or just not in the list at all. (This is the way it works in most players like this, email inboxes, etc.)

I just noticed the eye-icon function to hide played podcasts. That's very useful, and pretty much solves my problem.
Still, from a design perspective, the green check mark is not good.
