Yes, this has been an open issue almost right from the start ( https://github.com/expectingtofly/LMS_BBC_Sounds_Plugin/issues/9 ). As it doesn't quite fit in with the normal playable items are handled in LMS. But quite frankly, the way the BBC content works and how they present it, quite often you want to get to the those options easily. And it all flows quite nicely on the hardware interfaces (radio, boom, touch etc), where it would be much more fiddly to get to a "more" menu. So, I never took the plunge to change it, as you always want at least easy access to "all episodes" from the hierarchical menu, so, if you have to have the menu, you may as well put all the options in there! Plus, I think everybody has just got too used to it now for it to change. Unless I am way off the mark, I think for long form audio, you want ease of browsing to choose what to listen to, over ease of selecting a list of items to play, if you know what I mean. Although I'm happy for it to be a discussion.
