Include menu item "mark read" on screen when listening to podcast
While you're playing a podcast episode. The screen with the large logo and description is visible. The top right menu has nonoption for marking the current episode as read. I find many podcasts to have unreasonably long outros and would like to be able to mark them as read without navigating backwards to the full list of episodes, where clicking the menu item for a particular episode includes the "mark read" option
From the player screen you can press on the episode artwork to open the episode description page, then you can mark the episode as read, then swipe left/right to browse other episodes from the playlist and mark them as read as well. You can also long press on the player previous/next episode button in order to change episode while marking the current one as read
