Description

It doesn't seem possible to access fields like itunes:duration from the FeedItem object. It would be nice to be able to just do something like itemp["itunes:duration"] for properties that don't have explicit getters.

Sample feed here: https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/en.lproj/itcbaf351599.html

Research direction

The requested entry point is the FeedItem object, and the issue links to an Apple Podcasts sample feed. Start by finding FeedItem's implementation and existing tests, then verify that the unlisted itunes:duration field can be retrieved with the requested key without breaking current getters.
