I often mark episodes as read that I didn’t actually listen to. If the topic is boring or I skip the oldest episodes of a new podcast I set them to played in bulk.  
If I mark an episode as played and remove it from the queue, does the statistic tab still count them as played or does the statistic include only the time I really listened to it including counting good episodes twice that I heard a second time?

You can switch between both ways of counting by pressing the 3-dot menu on the statistics screen.
