Create and manage custom playlist for podcasts

Have recently started using Podcasts for listening to podcasts.


But soon realise I couldn't create custom playlists to save individual episodes to the playlist?


There's a station feature, but it only allows users to manage and group podcasts stations.


Is there any way to create a playlist that can manage different episodes from different stations?


Eg: I might like a few episode on Finance and want to save these to the Finance playlist.

I might like a few episodes on Business and want to save these to the Business playlist.

While not exactly the same thing as a traditional playlist, you can mark episodes to be saved by clicking the little bookmark icon. These marked podcast episodes will show up in sidebar Saved library. You'll need to add the episodes you wish to listen in the order you wish them to playback. Play the first one and the next in the list will play right after the first one completes.


There are podcast App alternatives. Such as Overcast which does have a playlist feature and is available on Mac and iOS. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/overcast/id888422857
