Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Currently I use AntennaPod for my podcast consumption. It has a lot of nice features I'd like to see added, including the ability to auto add podcast episodes to a queue/playlist. Many of my podcasts are of the daily/weekly news variety so I have a few queued up at any given time.

Describe the solution you'd like

I'd like for the app (or maybe even done server side?) to have a playback queue of podcasts. Would be especially nice if episodes that are autodownloaded are added to the queue automatically. Even nicer would be to have selective downloading. There are a few podcasts I listen to where I don't want every episode, but in AntennaPod I can add a list of keywords that if there's a match it'll download but ignore others. This last bit might be a separate request for the server end.

Describe alternatives you've considered

See AntennaPod functionality.

Additional context

Here's a screenshot from AntennaPod

Hi @FuzzyMistborn,

I could suggest a workaround. I'm currently piping my RSS feeds into siftrrss.

It uses simple regex filtering and re-generates a new RSS link with your filters applied. I.E if it's a free feed that includes 'teaser' 2m snippets of premium episodes, filter out the word Teaser

I think this would be a great feature for ABS to implement at some stage (it would be preferable to be able to manage this directly within ABS, and see what I'm missing out on) - but this workaround has served me well for the time being.
