Superuser Contribution Lyrics won't show due to "About the Artist" info showing instead

With the latest update, artist information takes the place of lyrics for some artists. Considering there already is a way to see artist information, but no other way to see lyrics, this chage doesn't seem like it was thought through.

Why aren't Podcasts playing the full runtime as advertised?

I've noticed that certain podcasts will have a advertised runtime of over 2 hours, but as soon as I hit play, it shortens to an hour or less. This is on a premium family membership.
