  It would be nice if you could cache the Details page of a podcast when downloading it, so I can read it when I listen to the podcast while having bad connectivity.

  Hi there, @generouslywastelandbd3420c912!

  Thank you for taking the time to report this. I’d like to ask you a few questions to assist you better.

  1. Which platform are you using: Android or iOS?
  2. Could you provide more details about where you accessed the Podcast details page? Was it from the Discover page or the Now Playing?

  sorry for the late response

  1. I’m on Android 14
  2. It happened when accessing the details tab through the “now playing” view and via the episode view that you get when tapping an episode in the list via “Podcasts” > some podcast

  it might be that it happens only on episodes downloaded by selecting multiple and downloading them all at once in the episode list rather than opening the episode and then downloading. But I’m definitely not sure.

  i wasn’t able to reproduce it using the airplane mode, but it happened again in the wild while on a train having bad connectivity

  i just realized it can even happen that the details page doesn’t show even when it had loaded before
