whatsoever to implement anything that will slow things down. Plus
inconsistent list will look really awful.. I didn't really consider
possible solution fully. I assumed that 3 lines (wrapped) could maybe
improve things a bit but still not display really long titles in full.
Anyway yeah very good point about cover art.. I don't actually see any
point of them in podcasts.. Is this something that could be turned off
in existing settings? I guess not but maybe I missed it. Thanks
