Select multiple subscriptions > refresh only those

I’ve collected many subscriptions, but there are only about 4 or 5 that I check every day.

As it stands, I have to navigate to each channels page and refresh them manually.

another solution would be a favourite channels section

Hello
Welcome to the AntennaPod forum @west_coast!

I think what you’re looking for is the ‘Keep updated’ setting. It’s a setting that you can change per podcast.
You disable it for the ones that you only infrequently listen to, and keep it enabled for the ones you check daily. Then when you pull to refresh (in the Subscriptions screen, or the queue) you will refresh only the ones you want. To refresh a podcast that you normally don’t listen to, you can go to that podcast’s screen and refresh info.

Would that work?

(We know that editing multiple podcasts in one go can be a pain. We have a feature request to edit multiple podcasts in one go.)
