Currently the only way to catch up on unplayed Podcast episodes is to use the Android App.
On the Desktop the only way to check for new Episodes is to check each Podcast individually instead of having a stream of unplayed Podcast Episodes like in the Android app.
Please include an "unplayed Podcast Episodes" Stream in the Desktop Vesion.
