My Question or Issue

I listen to a lot of podcasts on my phone, either by the speaker or via my car's Bluetooth. However the progress of my podcasts is constantly lost. If I pause a podcast and lock my phone, or switch to another app, or close Spotify completely, after a few minutes the podcast progress will be lost and reset to the beginning. It's incredibly infuriating, especially when connecting to my car and I just want to drive. But no, I have to wait, use my phone, skip through the podcast to a point I recognise and carry on from there. I don't know exactly the minute/second I was up to because I've quickly paused the app, or come back to it after a day's work. So manually finding the position again is so annoying.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the app and reset the settings, with no effect.

I'm using the latest version of the Android app at the time of writing (8.5.21.754)
