Ability to see recently played episodes
If I am listening to a podcast which I would like to refer back to later (to share with someone, to remind myself of a book recommendation, to get an interviewees name, etc.), I currently have to immediately stop what I am doing and make a note of it because I may struggle to find it again later if the playlist moves on. Either because I am not sure which specific podcast or episode I was listening to, or what the title was, or the podcasts has many episodes and I have to scroll forever to check the listened ones, etc. Doing this while otherwise occupied: driving, cooking, running, etc. is cumbersome or even dangerous. I would like to have a list of the last 10 or so episodes - in order of that they were listened to - so I can easily get to a podcast I listened a few episodes ago. Perhaps like the Recently Added or Downloaded lists.
Please go into Settings/Navigation sidebar and enable ‘playback history’
This will add a new entry in your navigation sidebar which allows you to access the list of episodes you listened to

After reading this response to the question "how to find a recently played pod cast," it still took me 10 minutes to figure out how to turn this feature on. There are a few different settings menus. So, go to main podcast screen, press 3 dots menu, select App Settings, select Navigation Sidebar, check Playback History.

Please add this answer to FAQ.
It is frustrating the function exists and nobody knows. I have spent hours(!) to find solution.
