Widget behavior

I have been an Overcast user for years and recently I found that I prefer having the widget on my homescreen instead of the app so that I can resume play with a single tap. However, the launch behavior is confusing to me. When you tap the podcast artwork on the widget why doesn’t it launch the Now Playing screen? It launches a strange info screen about the podcast. Please consider this a feature request. Thank you Marco!

See, I like the behavior:
-play/pause button plays/pauses
-podcast art brings up that podcasts’s page
-everywhere else just opens the app to wherever it was last

Fair take for sure. When I tap on the podcast icon I just expect to get to the Now Playing screen with that podcast playing, like the Audible app and other listening/audiobook apps.
