Update podcasts without visiting the page.

Clear and concise description of the problem

The automatic podcast update option says it updates automatically when the page is visited. This means that podcast apps that use PodFetch don't get updated podcasts unless you open the page.

My use case is such that I never open the podcast page. Even if I did, I would need to open 25+ pages just so AntennaPod on my phone can download new episodes before I head to work.

Manually navigating to the page just so it can automatically update seems counter-intuitive.

Suggested solution

I think it would make sense if automatic update was truly automatic, requiring no navigation to the pages at all. If you choose to manually update podcasts there should be a global update button somewhere easy to access that would update all podcasts with a single click. Another option could be that podcasts do not update automatically unless the global update button is pressed OR you navigate to the page in which case each podcast is updated only as you visit the page.
