Nice, thanks!

> Obviously syncing of podcasts / listening positions is not going to work, by design?

Not sure, can you say more? Quick potential answers in the meantime.

For syncing, there's an auto-sync that runs in the background and prioritizes the shows that you've listened to most in the past month, but eventually cycles through all podcasts that you follow. There's also a manual sync on the Following page.

For listening positions, there's a Queue where you can drag individual episodes up and down to change the order, and playback will automatically cycle to the next episode in the queue when the playing episode finishes.
