Create and manage a station in Podcasts on Mac
You can create stations (previously called playlists in iTunes) with the shows you follow — for example, you might want to group all shows about personal finance into a station. You can play the podcasts in your station in any order, and the stations are automatically updated when new episodes become available.
A station has the station icon next to it.

on your Mac, choose File > New Station.
Type a name for the station, then click Save.
Update any of the following station settings:
Station: Rename the station.
Play: Choose what order the podcasts in the station play in.
Group by Show: Organise episodes by show title and show how many episodes are included for each show.
Episodes: Choose how many episodes per show to include.
Media Type: Choose whether to include audio podcasts, video podcasts or both.
Hide Played Episodes: Include only episodes you haven’t played yet.
Click Choose Podcasts, choose the shows you want to include in the station (or turn on Include All Podcasts), then click OK.
