Save for Later / Listen Later Podcast List
I apologize for creating a duplicate idea but I have seen tons of the same posts asking for this with no or only cursory comments from the developer.
Many people with more supporters are asking for the same idea which is the ability to create a running list of podcasts/episodes which are NOT subscribed to but rather saved for later.
For example, I would use this feature when I am listening while doing other tasks and I hear an advertisement for a new podcast that I want to check out. I however already have 81 episodes in my playlist and so I do not want to subscribe to something new right now. With this new feature, I could add this new podcast to my 'listen later' category or playlist and continue on with my business.
Here is a second scenario: if the new feature is created as a playlist it could be implemented to automatically subscribe to a podcast on the listen later list when the number of episodes in your playlist drops below a certain number of episodes or hours of content.
I look forward to seeing this feature added and am open to any discussion on implementation. Below are the other posts I found easily but are certainly not an exhaustive list.

Ypou don't have to subscribe to a podcast to add single standalone episodes to the app.
The purpose of the playlist is to add the episodes you want to listen to. If you want to listen to it later, then just add it to the end of the playlist. Otherwise you can add these podcasts to a listen later category and when you're ready to listent to themn you can select this category in the cusom playlist tab

Thank you for your response. Adding individual episodes is one thing. Some people are asking for that, and I understand that it can be done with bookmarking though I don't feel it's very intuitive, but I have not used that feature much. For my part, I want a way to save whole podcasts for later without downloading them or adding them to the playlist.
In response to your points, adding to the end of the playlist would either mess up the sorting (which took a lot of time to set up in the first place), or if you're not using sorting moving all the episodes to the bottom, if it's an old podcast with many episodes. Neither of these is feasible when you're multitasking and just want a quick way to save a podcast.
I'll admit, I don't know how to use the custom the playlist. I have no idea why or how all the episodes in it are listed there. If I am understanding what you are saying about a listen later category, that would still require subscribing and having the episodes flood your playlist. It could be fixed but again, this is not a quick thing to do and the whole point is to quickly save a searched for podcast to review later.
