I would like to be able to have any ability to add new podcasts to my feed protected by a password, like a parental control type thing. I’ve yet to find such a feature in any podcast app and I personally know several people who would use such a thing to allow their kids (or to control themselves) to listen to specific podcasts only.
Admittedly I don’t know the first thing about coding or app development, so I have no idea how hard it would be to make such a thing, but it is a feature I feel would be quite valuable and would gain many users.

Been looking for this feature everywhere.
Alternative would be to enable age filtered searching

This would be a great function allowing my kids to use the app!

FYI I just created a Feature Request here, that you might find valuable as well: It is about limiting the daily listening time for kids (event when the app is in the background, which is not possible with Family Link or other apps).
App version: android
Problem you may be having, or feature you want:
Your app is my lifesaver for allowing my daughter to access her favorite podcasts independently, which is rare! (Even in paid apps designed for kids). It would be really perfect if you added the option to disable the ability to add new podcasts in the settings. This would ensure that the environment is perfectly secure for children, as it would be closed. Only parents could activate the ‘add subscriptions’ feature using a password. It would be truly wonderful if you could do this.
