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

Currently, podcasts have the ability to keep so many episodes. However, it seems that only 1 episode is deleted when new ones are added regardless of how many are added. This causes the amount of saved episodes to increase and need to be manually pruned.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have the ability to delete podcast episodes after a period of time that can be set.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have attempted to adjust the frequency of download times, but this doesn't solve the problem if the feed drops multiple episodes at the same time.
