Remove podcast from recommendations

[hoangnt]

Allow us to view and customize which information is used for podcast recommendations. At least, please let us remove some podcasts from ever appearing again in the "Next Up" or "Queue" or any list.

Extra idea: Please add tags to podcasts in relation to their political leaning.

I second this request. Cognitive bias is apparent everywhere. Sometimes journalistic integrity becomes victim to overly exerted cognitive bias. It's not permanent, but I do want the option to actively disable certain podcasts in times where I cannot trust it's content. We all have an obligation to expose ourselves to various ideas and opinions to build trust, but as I said from time to time in order to regain trust we simply need a break. Without this feature Im feeling less inclined to listen to any podcast at all. 

Having used this product for well over a decade I am impressed by it's growing content. As you continue to grow I encourage you to incorporate  strategies that provide individual subscribers the ability to customize content. 

For users strictly listening to one source of content you can also help them their mind to new ideas whichever way they lean. For example, a different outlet can be recommended with words "same story different perspective. In the mood to hear a different point of view". This proactively acknowledges that you as a distributor of content recognize various biases within the content. Your simply here to distribute the content in a way that maximizes the user experience. 

Good luck. Your product is still great after all these years.

I also support this. A certain "news" opinion podcast continues to flood my queue even though I do not follow it. It is divisive and only raises my blood pressure, which rises further in that I have searched and searched for a mechanism to remove the podcast from my queue but find no options to do so.
