I have the same requirements but started to think these use cases might be different enough to warrant different apps. So I’ve gradually shifted to those “don’t miss” ones in a dedicated podcast app and the occasional ones to Spotify. Could probably do with another app for the tiny daily ones too..

I've considered the multiple apps to manage content consumption but it's such an inelegant solution I've been unwilling to try it.

I want to be able to categorize content. I want a category of podcast to work to, work out to, go to sleep to, or to simply sit a learn. I want different categories of music. I want to be able to set a group of content on YouTube that I will watch everything on, and one that I can sort through and pick the few videos I want to watch.

Given the value of that data in just my sorting and prioritizing of content, I don't know why I don't have the tools so that data can be harvested and sold.

I think it will lead to better content.

You don't need two apps – Overcast does all of this.
