Describe the Feature/Enhancement

I can play an audiobook from the "Downloads" option in the hamburger menu. With podcasts I can only delete them

Why would this be helpful?

This would help immensely if you are on a bad connection. If ABS thinks it is offline, it will insist on being online, downloading maybe hundreds of episode-titles for a podcast, cover art and god knows that before you can get to that single, already downloaded episode you want to play.

Future Implementation (Screenshot)

Just...make a play-button on the podcast-episodes in the Downloads-screen.

Audiobookshelf App Version

iOS App - 0.9.63

Current Implementation (Screenshot)
