Please add disable/hide custom playlist option
I -loathe- the custom playlist. When I want to put on just one episode of something for bed, sometimes it goes straight to the custom playlist....along with over 250 other episodes of the same podcast. Then I have to -manually- clear the custom playlist when I wake up in the middle of the night/the next morning. Yes, I could set a single episode sleep timer. Yes I could manually add it to my playlist. However, until the custom playlist option, I could just play one episode and it went to the end of my normal playlist. This is all I want to happen. I don't want this feature and it's made my experience with the app -worse-. All I want is the option to just not have this feature that I never was interested in in the first place.
When you add an episode to the playlist it goes into the audio playlist, not into the custom playlist.
If you want to disable continuous playback mode to prevent the app from crearting playback queue depending on the episode you’re playing you can do this in Settings/Playlist.
You will find more detail on the playlist/continuous playback mode in the app FAQs (Settings/FAQs)
Feel free to send me an email if you have any question
Thanks

I agree. Custom playlist is horrible. I never use it, but I've wasted untold amounts of time removing episodes from it.

I agree. It's a feature that I've never used and has cost me untold amounts of time to clear episodes from.

It is kinda mess. Sometimes if I add an episode to playlist it gets into audio playlist, and sometimes it gets into custom playlist--even though I added the episodes within seconds. Then I have to manually switch the playlist again because it's not in order. And suddenly, an entire episodes of podcast got into my audio playlist. Come on...

I loathe it too. I really want to be able to disable it. Or at least be able to clear the whole thing with one click. I have NEVER used it on purpose -- it populated with every unplayed episode (2000+) when I was scrolling through "ALL" and accidentally selected an episode that started playing. It makes me so angry that I'm thinking about switching to a new podcast app, despite having used PA for 4 years and loving it otherwise. That's how angry Custom Playlist makes me.

What does the custom playlist even do? Get rid of it! It's horrible.
