My Question or Issue:

I listen to a lot of podcasts on Spotify besides music. In some cases, I'd like to go back and listen to certain podcasts again. The 'Recently Played' feature is rather limited.

Use Case 1) When I go to a certain podcast channel, there is no option to filter out the podcasts that I've played. The only options are 'All Episodes', 'Unplayed', and 'In Progress'. The 'Recently Played' option might be outdated after a few weeks, so this is not useful to me. Since Spotify is keeping track of episodes that I have not yet played, it would be nice to have an option to filter on the episodes that I've played. 

Use Case 2)  Say I'm searching for a certain podcast on a certain topic. I might not quite remember the actual name of the podcast or the podcast channel (I sometimes ask Google to play podcast on certain topics like HealthCare or AI for example while I'm away from a device). It would be nice if I could filter the results of my search by episodes that I've played considering this information is already stored. 

YouTube has a history feature, but I can't seem to find a decent history feature in Spotify beyond 'Recently Played' which is rather limited.

Thanks in advance.
