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

I love the idea of the new auto-play podcast episodes! The only issue is that they currently default to the newest one that hasn't been listened to, which is great for news type podcasts, but not for ones that should be listened to in publication order ( serials, audio dramas, etc).

Describe the solution you'd like

The Spotify default is to go from the podcast that just completed, to the next un-listened podcast published after that date. Ie) If I listen to podcast number 5 out of 10, then it will autoplay 6 after 5, and 7 after that.

If we don't go with the Spotify method as default, it'd be nice to have some kind of toggle on a per-podcast basis, or another way to do things this way.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I've tried pausing and manually searching for the next one, using the first letter, but this isn't really safe or feasible to do while driving, especially when it requires lots of scrolling.

Additional context

Posting this after discussion in Discord earlier today.

This so much!

In addition, the home page is unusable to me because other than continue listening the sections are pointless to me.

For everything but news the episode I always want to listen to is the oldest unplayed. This is especially important for consecutive content.
