There are millions upon millions of podcast episodes out there and it can be tough to figure out what to listen to and when. The popular podcast service<\/a> Pocket Casts is rolling out a playlists feature<\/a> to help users make sense of it all.<\/p>\n

This is being advertised as a “new way for listeners to organize, sequence and customize episodes across all their favorite shows.” The idea of a playlist isn’t new by any stretch, but it’s not typically an option on podcast apps. As a matter of fact, Pocket Casts says this was one of its most-requested features.<\/p>\n

The platform says this tool is great for “building a morning news lineup, curating interviews to study a topic or creating a queue for a long flight.” There’s a manual option but also an automatic Smart Playlists feature that gathers episodes together based on pre-determined rules.<\/p>\n

For instance, episodes can be collected and sorted by release date, duration and other factors. This replaces the pre-existing filters tool. I can absolutely see this being useful on a road trip when you don’t really wanna fiddle with a phone and would rather just let the podcast episodes flow into one another to create a Conan O’Brien-induced driving zen state.<\/p>\n

The playlists tool is available right now. This is just the latest move by Pocket Casts. The service recently added a free tier<\/a> for accessing its web player and desktop app. We love it when things get cheaper, don’t we folks?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are millions upon millions of podcast episodes out there and it can be tough to figure out…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150574,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[9190,85,46,91911,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-150573","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-technology","8":"tag-episodes","9":"tag-il","10":"tag-israel","11":"tag-pocket-casts","12":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150573","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150573"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150573\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150574"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150573"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150573"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150573"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
