Songs Autoplay After My Episodes

[RogueTangent]

On mobile android device, for months I have been adding a single podcast episode to the My Episodes Playlist as a way to play only that one specific episode. I have autoplay turned off and this has always worked before. For the last week or so, the app has started playing music after my podcast ends. I want to go to sleep and not hear hours and hours of endless songs I didn't request. What changed and how do I stop it?
