I think the PR is pretty far already, a few TODOs remain, but i think its already quite useable - check it out!
Try the debug apk
everything else should be according to mockups, only this small improvements:
- extended section rows to scroll horizontally and show a few more items
- the Continue section displays paused episodes from the queue first (and last played first), but the order of the queue, if an episodes is started, is respected.
- the setting features checkboxes to hide the sections and a reset option
- added add podcast icon to the toolbar
- added navigation to episodes screen to the “get suprised” section
- added shuffle button to “get suprised” section
?? Search is currently in the toolbar, should it be always in the toolbar or should I add a separate view like on the Discovery page?
I was thinking the user is used to search from the toolbar to search local and to not be confused with the new podcasts search online (Discovery) it might be sensible to leave the search in the toolbar on the home screen as well…what do you think?
?? Also should the “get surpised” be limited to episodes 2y or newer, bc sometimes i get some from over 10y ago? 
SwipeActions work pretty great now and are available in Inbox, Episodes, PodcastFeeds and can be customized for each screen via a toolbar dialog. Also on the first swipe the dialog opens with a default suggestion so nothing unexpected happens. Should there be an settings option to completly disable swipe actions? Or wait until somebody actually has a “usecase” not to use SwipeActions?

Here’s a quick demo with three possible workflows
(Default, inbox/queue, continue/episodes)
I think this opens up really cool customizability on one screen 
UPDATE: fixed a few issues and added swipe actions dialog
