Not a queue for its own sake
“What should I pick up next?”
That is the first question bassed answers. Pick up where you left off, see what is new, and keep a book chapter beside a podcast or article without making six services fight for your attention.
The queue is there when you want it. The point is a listening life that feels considered, not optimized for making you consume more.
Profiles, not a recommendation engine
Keep your worlds from talking over each other.
A saved view can hold the sources that belong together: work, long-form journalism, bedtime reading, whatever makes sense to you. Switch the lens and your library, Home and notes stay with that part of your life.
They are called Personas in the app today; the idea is intentionally simple.
