Sent out a survey to some podcasters to get some ideas for future features and marketing!

Been busy on tons of great work!

- Fixed a bunch of bugs with subscribing / adding / removing podcasts
- Fixed tons of layout issues (finally getting used to SwiftUI!)
- Added new filter button / popup menu for Trending news view.
- Moved Videos into their own screen and added support to show YouTube videos in app.
- Started work on saving Articles & Videos for later reading / viewing.

finally got podcasts to download & play while updating state across screens!

Migrated from Sentry to Bugsnag and setup notifications to go into a Slack channel.

Added helper methods to know when a podcast has been subscribed to. Now I need to read up more on the Combine framework.

Started on subscribe button. Right now it's just positioned and changes label / bg color on tap.

Added searching to app

Added in logic to search for existing wrestling podcasts and then to go to the podcast detail screen.
Added searching for specific wrestling articles on trending screen.

Next up is adding podcast subscription!
