do you know whether this also pertains to the icons beside individual
episodes?  so for instance if the individual episode has a red circle,
the episode hasn't been downloaded/listened to yet?  And if the circle
is missing, then you have downloaded/listened to it?  for me the
"downloaded" state is the relevant one, as i'm collecting a bunch of
podcasts for a veeerrrry  long trip in the car with my kids.
