  When browsing a podcast with hundreds of episodes (looking at one with 419 right now), it’s hard to choose a sample episode to see if I like it. Going through episode titles and descriptions (especially if a podcast uses vague/unhelpful episode titles) can take a long, long time.

  I’m into movie podcasts, and they tend to produce long episodes. Choosing one at random isn’t appealing when we’re talking about 90-120 minutes. If it’s even feasible, it would be great to know what the most popular/listened to episodes are. A huge time-saver.
