Describe the feature/enhancement

There should be a setting to toggle to allow for autoplay of next podcast in an podcast feed. The current behavior i see, for example:

Starting new podcast, at episode 1. it ends, i need to select episode 2, and start it- this can be annoying, especially when listening to podcasts while driving, for shorter podcasts. It'd be great if there was a behavior that automatically started the next podcast in line- if i didn't want it, i could pause it and find other content myself (or make this a library/user setting somewhere).

I second this, as a serial podcast-binger.

I'm also interested in this feature, it is the only thing keeping me from switching completely to audiobookshelf for my podcast consumption

Added this for the website in v2.1.5

This is very basic right now and only has one listening order. It will only queue episodes that have a more recent published date, so if you are listening to the most recent then you won't have any episodes queued.

I'm still not sure the best way to do listening orders for podcasts. This is not yet in the mobile apps, that would be in the audiobookshelf-app repo.
