### Device, Operating system, and Pocket Casts app version

Pixel 6a w/ Android 13 and Pocket Casts version 7.41 rc-3

I know that I'm currently using a beta version but I've been having this issue longer than I've been on the beta. It used to eventually become responsive again but since I've been on the beta it's been crashing.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the freeze or crash on a Pixel 6a running Android 13 with Pocket Casts 7.41 rc-3: open Filter, then edit the filter list. Trace the podcast-list loading path used for creating or editing filters; done means the filter list loads and remains responsive without crashing.
