add an option to not add specific podcast to playlist on play
I often listen to daily news and stop playing before the episode is done. Therefore I collect a lot of half-played episodes to my playlist. I would like to exclude episodes from this podcast being added to the playlist.
I have set a custom override on the podcast to not automatically add episodes to the playlist, but maybe it applies to when they publish new episodes - not to when I play them.

Sorry but the playlist is what's being used to play content. What you're asking is not possible. However you can long press on the player next episode button when you're done with an episode so it can be processed as fully listened to.
You can also use the feature that will skip the end of the episode (Settings/FAQs for a full description)

I see! Did not know about that shortcut, thanks!
