Jason Snell, writing for Six Colors:

The thing that makes Castro 2 stand out is its approach to curating your podcast playlist. New episodes of subscribed podcasts appear in the app’s Inbox tab, in chronological order with the most recent item at the top. You tap on an episode to reveal a horizontal toolbar of action buttons, which let you quickly play the episode, add it to the bottom or top of your podcast queue, or banish it to the archive.

The net effect of this is quick podcast-episode triage, all focused around a single playlist.

As always, solid writing by Jason.

On a related note, I think there’s room in the podcast player space for better discovery, for more, “if you like this, you’ll like that” or for tools that let you walk the tree of podcasts to make your way into an area of interest, whether that be startup mechanics, sports, or interviews with celebrities.
