But podcast apps stress you out because they make you feel like, oh, I was supposed to do this thing and I didn't.

Summary
Dave's wife never uses a podcast app; she just finds episodes some other way. He sees why. Browsing Hulu or Prime carries no stress, but podcast apps full of unplayed episodes make you feel you were supposed to do something and didn't. Most people have only two or three shows they never want to miss, and it's easy to just go to those directly. He thinks it may be time to rethink the inbox-style app.
Not in the audio. The span starts with one Unknown cue ('But podcast apps stress you out because they') that sits inside Dave's 8-cue runs and clearly carries his sentence.

Like, take overcast for instance, the whole idea of of creating playlists and that kind of thing is very, that's that is tedious. If I what I really want is just a river of podcasts.

Well, you know, we all have like... I bet every single one of us has, let's say, three podcasts that we just don't want to miss.
