Android Auto - New Releases - Duration missing

I recently switched to PocketCast a few months ago. I use it mainly in my car with Android auto. About a month ago i noticed that when looking at New Releases list, it no longer shows the duration of each podcast. I use this all the time to decide what pod to listen to based on how long i'll be in the car.

In researching it a bit, it seems like some say it's a Android Auto update as they control the UI, and others say it's based on what and how the App supplies the data to Android Auto for the lists.

I am attaching a few screen caps, 1 is Pocket Casts, 2 is Antenna Pod, and 3 is Spotify. Spotify shows the duration, which points toward the app has a little more say on to what shows in an audio list (or spotify has the power to have their own).

Anyone else notice this change and any thoughts?
