![]() Months (probably years?) ago, I subscribed to the Relay membership version of Connected, unsubscribed to the ad-supported version, and deleted old episodes. The reason is that Overcast’s inactive list combines shows that haven’t published an episode recently with those that you no longer follow and where you manually deleted all episodes from your library, which is why Connected showed up. What threw me off is that in addition to a handful of shows that I knew hadn’t published an episode for a very long time, my inactive list included shows like Relay FM’s Connected, which published an episode a couple of days ago. The inactive list is worth explaining, though, because it wasn’t entirely clear to me how it worked when I first tried it. This isn’t a feature I’ve explored much because I’m more interested in finding unplayed episodes than whether they’re active or inactive, but you’ve got those options if you want to sort your podcasts that way. At the top is a segmented control to filter the list by Unplayed, Active, and Inactive. The final section is a list by podcast of episodes you’ve downloaded and shows to which you’ve subscribed. Overcast’s Unplayed, Active, and Inactive lists. The ‘Latest’ and ‘Videogames’ playlists are ones that carried over from the last version of Overcast, collecting the most recent episode of my favorite shows and organizing my favorite videogame podcasts in one place. Having a Queue playlist where I can drop episodes that look interesting has been a handy way to organize my listening. I also added a Queue playlist because, in recent years, I’ve found that I listen to every episode of fewer shows than I used to. I’ve added the In Progress playlist that makes it easy to pick up where I left off with episodes I’ve started. ![]() Also, the built-in playlists cover options that will satisfy the needs of many users who don’t want or need to build their own. ![]() The vibrant color choices and use of SF Symbols give this section a modern, fun feel. From here, you can adjust the color, icon, title, sorting, and included podcasts for a playlist. Those colors, along with the icons used for each playlist, can be modified by tapping on the playlist and then picking Edit → Playlist Settings. If the playlist has at least one episode in it, the playlist’s button turns a bright color. Overcast uses color to allow users to know if there’s anything in their playlists. ![]()
