iPhone: How to continuously play unplayed podcasts?

Solution 1:

I have had the same issue since iOS 11 update. I can’t find a way to do this in the app other than constructing a playlist manually which is ridiculous. However, if you ask Siri to play unplayed podcasts, it will play them all continuously. Bit of a hack while waiting for Apple to fix.

Solution 2:

I found an answer here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/8086917

Summary - the "All Unplayed" part of the "Library" is a station like any other, and if you play the topmost podcast in the list it appears to also queue up the rest in "up next". Not sure what happens at the end of that - whether new downloads will get added.

The "Listen Now" station does not act like this in my experience.
