Problem you may be having, or feature you want

One of the factors that comes into whether I start listening to a new podcast or not is the length of each episode (I prefer to listen to whole episodes at a time, so tend to have an upper bound in mind).

The info/preview screen shown off of a search result doesn't show the length of each episode anywhere. I can preview an episode, but then I need to come out of the preview screen and expand the player in order to see the length, and I'd also want to look at several episodes to get an idea of the typical runtime. I usually end up having it cross-referencing the hosting provider's web page for a podcast to check the lengths instead.

Suggested solution

Assuming the information is available from the feed alone, it'd be nice to have that information available in the preview. There's space in the episode row layout to place it beside or opposite the air date.

I'm imagining something like this, with durations shown on the top-right of each row:

With #4710, we plan to remove the preview screen. So we should not spend time adding features to it.
