iOS 27.2 changes the Apple Podcasts Up Next queue by dividing it into New Episodes and Continue Playing.
New Episodes appears at the top of the app and shows the latest episodes from shows the user follows. Continue Playing sits below it and collects episodes that have been started but not completed.

Apple Podcasts also offers transcripts, automatically generated chapters and recent video-related updates. However, the author says queue management remains confusing and that the queue still does not sync across devices.
