The script supports it, just not very clearly.

It seems to me that there are podcasts which work differently. E.g. Hollywood Party - Il cinema alla radio has a "season selector" that gives access to different episodes than playlists: the season selector is organized year-by-year while the playlists are organized by argument.
In short: seasons != playlists.

It would be nice if your scripts were able to address even seasons. Just to start 😜: I noted that every season has an entry in the "filters" list in the main JSON, with filters[0] related to the last/current season, filters[1] for the penultimate, and so on.
