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

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
