Add smart playlist based on age/groups/priorities
Allow putting subscriptions into category groups with priorities for the the groups and within the groups. Then have a auto-playlist that goes in newest/priority order within the unplayed episodes in your favorite group, then next favorite, etc., always going back to the top of the list when you finish an item if new episodes have been added. That would simplify car listening by always making the newest episode of your favorite topic group that is available the default at the top of the list.

Maybe one way of implementing this is to be able to divide podcast subscriptions into groups based on how we want them ordered (e.g. Latest first, oldest unread first, largest first, default smart group etc.) Then each smart group would have a integer weighting factor from 0 to 1 (the smaller the weighting factor the higher priority) Then to find the play order of a given episode you would multiply the group weighting factor by the within-group episode play priority and order the resulting numbers.
