How to clear Podcast History

So as we know, the Up Next list is here and buried unless you have a Podcast Now Playing. Once there you can see Up Next, which includes History, Now Playing, Up Next.


Any Podcast episode you have played will appear in the History list. This is even if you have deleted the Podcast episode completely.


My question is how do you clear this History list? You cannot swipe. There is not an Edit button. It appears static. Will this list eventually have Podcast episodes drop off due to time? What if there are Podcasts there in that list you do not want someone else to see for privacy reasons? There must be some way to clear it out as you see fit or remove individual episodes from History manually, right???

I've got the same. It's strange the history isn't a complete history of what I've played. It's only got a few items in there. Nevertheless, can't clear it.
