Hi Chris, No, I don’t have a demo. I have just heard demos. For the price, it’s a great thing. But it wouldn’t be something I would want. The only reason I would even consider this new 14 sell display is for the notetaking capability. I’m really not thrilled with only 14 S. But the notetaking

Hi Wayne, I'm pretty sure you can use the action menu on a podcast episode to mark it as unplayed. Overcast keeps tracks of which podcasts are played fine for new episodes, so once you are dealing with new ones rather than imported ones, you shouldn't run into this problem. Best, Anna >
