Hello Robin, Thomas made those demos when Shortcuts was first added to iOS in around 2017. They were excellent at one time, but things have changed a lot since then. It is still possible to create shortcuts to play Overcast episodes, but I couldn't find any way to do it just now except to choose create Shortcut, search for "overcast", and find an action. It seems like there should be an easier way, but I don't see it. I'm positive this has nothing to do with whether you use the free or premium version, as there is no difference in how the two work. Also, I have the premium version.
