So remember to add what Spotify failed miserably

- Mark an entire Podcast as heard/listened

- Disable recommendations needs to be an option

- Start screen needs to be whatever the user want, so make it adjustable in settings

- Auto download and auto erase of played episodes

Great! All of it can done. The start screen will be filled with your recent activities and podcasts related to the topics you choose. Why do you want to disable recommendations though? Recommendations seem like a good for discovering new podcasts.

It's about not having the option

For instance Spotify always tries to make us listen to irrelevant podcast makers, connected to political Fighting

There's no problem having recommendations The issue comes when you can't disable then
