There are many mobile apps that help stream or download podcasts from different sources, I’ve mostly used Podverse until now. But this app, and the other ones I’ve tried like AntennaPod or Podcini are all better suited to follow podcasts as they come out, adding the new ones to the queue when they’re added.

They’re a bit less practical for those like history podcasts that you’d want to listen to in chronological order, even if you start it when there are hundreds of episodes out. It’s possible to show oldest episodes first, but you still have to manually scroll down or search the next episode everytime. Is there any way in one of these apps or another one to automatically add the next episode (by release date) to the queue?

    Not sure if you’re on iOS, but I’ve used Overcast for years and absolutely love it. There’s a function called “sort by oldest/newest by podcast” which I use for exactly the function you’re looking for!

      Update: I ended up switching to AntennaPod anyway because of another minor problem in Podverse, and realized you could also filter out all episodes you’ve already listened to. This still doesn’t do exactly what I wanted (add the next episode to queue automatically), but it’s still more convenient as I don’t have to scroll past the episodes I’ve listened to to find the next one.
