Apple Podcast Listen Now not syncing since updating to iOS 16

I updated to iOS 16 on my phone and now Apple Podcast Listen Now is not syncing correctly to show all new episodes. It is only syncing 2 of 10 daily shows. I have tried unfollowing and re-following, that didn't help. I have tried changing my settings. That didn't help. I have it set to hid all played episodes, so now I am resorting to going through and opening each show in my library to see if there is a new episode so that I can listen to it. This is a pain in my rear. It works correctly on my laptop, so it is clearly the phone update that is the issue. Anyone else experiencing this?

iPhone 11, iOS 16

I've noticed the shows set to play "Newest to Oldest" are being added in the Listen Now feed, but the ones set to "Oldest to Newest" are not. In fact, ones in the Listen Now feed disappear when I change the show to "Oldest to Newest"

This is happening to me as well. I have figured out that the only shows that don't appear in the "Listen Now" tab are the ones set to play Oldest to Newest. When I change them to play Newest to Oldest and refresh, they appear. THis isn't a solution though; lots of podcasts are episodic. Who wants to miss 1 or 2 episodes, then jump back in at the most recent and go backwards?
