Description

### Description

When dragging podcasts to reorder in list view, if you have a long list and you want to drag a podcast e.g. from the bottom of the list to the middle, the scrolling speed when you reach the top of the screen is too fast, so it's hard to stop in the right place.

Compared to reordering episodes in the Up Next queue, where the scrolling speed is slower and easier to see where you are.

Please change the scroll speed for podcasts to match the scroll speed of Up Next.

Research direction

Start by comparing the podcast reordering drag behavior with reordering in the Up Next queue, focusing on how each implements automatic scrolling near the screen edges. Done means dragging a podcast through a long list scrolls at the same slower, controllable speed as Up Next.
