Preview before subscribing
When you search for new podcasts, you can't preview anything about them. You can only see the title, logo, and first line of the description. Tapping on it immediately subscribes you. Provide a way to preview podcasts (description, available episode list, etc.) before subscribing.
This feature has just been released in v3.16
From the search results press on the podcast (or long press), the select ‘Episodes’, you will then have the list of the podcast episodes, from which you can stream/download without having to subscribe first
BTW: I forgot to add this feature in the Discover podcasts screen, but it will be done later this week

It actually make sense to verify or confirm before using, previewing is like a taste test at Costco, makes you buy...

You can.

I too think it would be good to be able to see the list of episodes. Can help take a decision on whether we would be interested to subscribe to the podcast or not.

The new version (2.22) allows you to see the full episode description when you press on the podcast. You won't be able to see episodes content though
