Describe the feature/enhancement

A feature in PocketCasts that I enjoy is to restrict certain podcasts (especially news-oriented ones) to a limited number of downloaded/queued episodes. I can define this by quantity, maximum age, or both (as seen below).

It will remove them from your file system after 2 days no matter whether you listened to it or not?

It archives the podcasts by default. There is a global setting where you can configure how archived episodes are handled (including deletion).

@sydlexius, and to be clear, how would this feature implemented in your eyes? Would the episodes be archived on the server, the app, or both?

Having thought a bit more about this, this request is probably better
suited to the client-side. Should I resubmit my request?

It sounds like this is something that would need to be implemented on the server, web client and the app. I don't fully understand the feature though.

My understanding is that the request is for the app to support archiving episodes downloaded to the device based on user defined criteria. So for instance, in Downcast, I can set a podcast to keep the last 3 episodes that haven't been marked as listened to. When an episode is completed, it is deleted from the phone. Is this what you are thinking @sydlexius ? Or do you want to also have the content removed from the server as well?

I originally thought that this would be a request for something like - only keep x amount of previous episodes, then delete.

So if I have a daily news podcast that I have automatically download each day, but don't listen to for a week or 2, I probably don't want to listen to a daily news podcast that is a week or 2 old - hence having it auto-prune/auto-remove episodes older than a certain number of days.

This would be a setting defined on a per podcast basis, since there are podcasts that would benefit from this, but obviously a lot of episodic podcasts that would not.
