Why won’t Podcasts show length before listening?

Podcasts are not showing length of the show unless you start to listen. This is for saved, downloaded, viewing channels. Would like to see how long the podcast is before I decide to start it… ie I have 10 minutes commute I want to look for a podcast 10 minutes or less etc.

Podcast Queue Is there a way to see your Podcast Queue? I can't figure out how to see my queue and which podcasts are in my 'Up Next' and what order. You used to swipe up on the screen but it now it gives you the details of the podcast. Does anyone know?

Why has the podcasts app started marking episodes as played when they are only partly complete? For the last couple of months the podcasts app has become really irritating. I have some podcasts that I might listen to only once or twice a week, listening to other podcasts in between. These are podcasts with hundreds of episodes that I'm working my way through and I don't usually listen to a whole episode at a time. Until a couple of months ago, when I went back to listen to a podcast, the episode I'd previously been listening to would still be there, marked as unplayed, waiting for me to pick it up from where I'd left off. Now, even if I'm only 10% through an episode, if I come back to the podcast after a few days, the partially listened to episode has been marked as played. So first I have to scroll through hundreds of episodes to find the episode I was listening to and then I have to try to find the point I'd got to to restart listening. This is worse! I don't understand why this was changed and (assuming that there may be some people who prefer the new approach), I don't understand why it isn't an option that users can select. Is it a bug or a feature? Does anyone know?

Why does no longer play next episode but jumps to the next podcast? My podcasts used to play the next episodes, now it jumps to the next podcast instead. Not only can I not just continue on to the next episode of the podcast I chose to listen to, it auto jumps to an entirely different podcast and not even the next unplayed one, but the newest episode of that podcast.
