how do I display podcast description?

The podcast titles are displayed, but I see no way to find the podcast description. It's easy to find using my Nano. Can anyone help me?

If it's like my iPhone, you can't view descriptions at all at this time.

How can they drop such a simple feature as this? I assumed this was just a bug and that a software update would soon be out to fix this. But if they haven't fixed it for the iphone yet then maybe this isn't considered a bug? It seems like the ipod touch is a step backwards for listening to podcasts.

Show notes need to be added back in via a software update. I agree that it's absurd of Apple to drop them in the iPhone (Touch) interface.

Anyone with the 2.0 beta know if this issue will be fixed in the June release?

Some podcasters such as CNET's Buzz Out Loud have started using the lyrics field for show notes. It works quite well for the iPhone and touch.
