Type of Enhancement

None

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I listen to a few podcasts that upload a short trailer before each season. And a short bonus after each season, half of which is just a recommendation for another podcast. I don't want these episodes on the server. However, I don't want to disable the automatic episode search. It would be useful if I could specify a list of keywords. If one of these keywords, such as "bonus" or "trailer," appears in the episode title, it shouldn't be downloaded.

Why would this be helpful?

It would save storage space and my nerves. And I don't think it's just mine.
