@overcastfm In the new UI, is it possible to see the duration of a played podcast without marking it as unplayed? On the Info screen it now just says “PLAYED” where the duration used to be.

I don't know why it still surprises me when other lawyers file things that blatantly violate the court rules, but it still surprises me when other lawyers file things that blatantly violate the court rules. I'm not sure if that says more about me, them, or the system. #Litigation #BadLawyering #IGuessThatsWhyTheyCallItPractice
