Yes, loading is quite slow. I typed in a name and the search result showed almost instantly but it took over thirty seconds to actually get to the comment section. There's no reason you need to embed a player for the episode on the comment page. If I'm going to go to a web page and comment on a podcast I've already listened to the podcast.
- unholiness 4y agoThere's definitely reasons for it (to easily link to clips in comments) but there's no reason to block loading the comments on loading the episode or the player
- wolframhempel 4y agoThat's fair. When you are the first user to ever visit a site for an episode, we pull info from the show's RSS feed. So unfortunately we depend on the RSS feed host's response time. But the experience around it can and should definitely be a lot smoother.
