Start podcasts from the beginning

kabutar — Mon, 02 Sep 2024 13:42:16 GMT

I was wondering if anyone knows if there is an option to make it so that when I play a playlist containing podcasts, the podcasts automatically play from the beginning? at the current moment I have a huge playlist consisting of nearly 100hours of podcasts, which I regularly listens to. But should I listen to a podcast halfway through, and than change to another one, that first podcast saves where I stopped listening to it, and when I shuffle play a few days later, that same podcast resumes from where I stopped it. Is there a way to make it so that this does not happen, and that podcasts always starts from the start when shuffle playing playlists in my library? I have a premium plan, and this can be pretty annoying to say the least.

You got to be kidding that there isn't an automatic way to do this.

Wow, kinda shocking there is no way to do this. So when you find a good podcast with hundreds of shows, there's no way to start at the beginning without scrolling down and clicking more 50 times???
