Be able to favourite episodes from podcasts we might not want to be subscribed to
Sometimes I wish to favourite particular episodes of certain podcasts so that I can give them a listen later for some reason or another, but at the same time do not want to subscribe to that podcast anymore.
You can already do that from the detach results. You can long press on any episode to favorite it

Here's a use case for BN's idea. When an author releases a book, they often go on a book tour and appear on several different podcasts to promote it. I listen to only those episodes of a lot of different podcasts. I wind up with a bunch of podcast icons from shows that I have one played and/or downloaded episode from. I do go back and listen later, for one reason or another.

This could be implemented as a "Hide Podcast" option with "View Hidden Podcasts". You could just add a flag to let a podcast be hidden from the list. Hidden podcasts would not update, or auto-delete, but just "freeze", allowing a user to browse in and pick individual episodes as desired, without having to "normally" see the podcast in the master list...

I like Daniel's idea.

Daniels idea seems reasonable.

Not really interested in this feature, but can see it being implemented as a virtual podcast of saved episodes. Otherwise, where would the saved episodes be found if the podcast they belong to isn't subscribed.

Can't you just copy the mp3s out of the podcast addict dir or subscribe, but tell PA not to download any episodes?
