I have the same problem, but I created a [new thread](https://forum.antennapod.org/t/automatic-cleaning-for-not-updated-podcast-feeds/816) because I didn’t understand the “pod fade” term, too 🙂

Here my opinion so we can keep this single thread:

> [@Automatic cleaning for not-updated podcast feeds](https://forum.antennapod.org/t/automatic-cleaning-for-not-updated-podcast-feeds/816/1):
>
> Eg.  
> 1)Every week, when the app starts o when the feeds are updated\*, check the last episode date.  
> 2)If it’s more than 1year\* ago → Send a notification “these podcast may be dead” and let the user choose if remove or keep them  
> 3)If the user choose to keep the feed, it won’t be requested again  
> 4)If the user choose to delete the feed, it’s removed from the subscriptions
> 
> It could be useful to add a function to automatically remove the feeds withour new episodes in the last 3years\*
> 
> \*values should be set in the Settings if possible.
