[Comment: Castro's Inbox/Queue feature is game-changing functionality for heavy podcast users - 9to5Mac](https://9to5mac.com/2020/07/19/castro-inbox/?ref=birchtree.me)

> For the ten shows that I know will get listened to, I have them set to go straight to the top of my Queue. For the other shows (which is the bulk of my subscription list), I can browse the Inbox a few times a day, grab the episodes that look interesting to me, and then clear the rest. I know this sounds like a super simple approach, but it’s been a breath of fresh air for me as I was becoming overwhelmed with the number of shows I had subscribed to over the years.

[Speaking for features that people find essential](https://birchtree.me/blog/mark-as-read-on-scroll/), Castro’s queuing system has ruined me for other podcast apps.
