+Podcast Support
+===============
+
+Podcasts are **special sets** (`sets.is_podcast = 1`). They reuse set permissions, browsing, and cover images, while adding feed management and episode tracking.
+
+### Subscribing
+
+Admin opens the **Podcasts** button in the admin panel (or calls `POST /api/podcasts`):
+- Submit an RSS/Atom feed URL and optional folder name.
+- Server creates a set folder, parses the feed, downloads the cover image, and inserts episodes into `podcast_episodes`.
+
+### Episode Management
+
+Episodes are stored in `podcast_episodes` and rendered in the browse grid for podcast sets:
+- **Undownloaded** episodes show a **Download to server** button (calls `POST /api/podcasts/episodes/{id}/download`).
+- **Downloaded** episodes become regular `media` rows and appear as normal media cards.
+- Users can mark episodes as listened/unlistened via the checkmark button.
+
+### Background Feed Checker
+
+A background goroutine (`CheckFeeds`) refreshes feeds every hour (configurable via `PODCAST_CHECK_INTERVAL_MINUTES`). It uses conditional GET (`If-None-Match`, `If-Modified-Since`) to avoid re-downloading unchanged feeds.
+
