How to autoplay next episode of an Apple Podcast?

I would like Apple Podcast to automatically play the next episode in a series, but I cannot figure out how to do this.

Currently, when Apple Podcast is done playing one episode of a series, e.g., Wondery+, instead of playing the next episode it cues up to something entirely different, or stops playing altogether. Then I have to go through the process of searching through menus until I find the next episode I want.

I've searched online, but the instructions I've found so far don't appear to correspond to the Apple Podcast version I'm using. This should be simple, right? Any suggestions? Thanks.

So I'm still testing this out, but after searching through several forum posts I wanted to share the solution I've found in case it works for anyone else. It's...dumb. In a "that shouldn't be necessary" kind of way. It seems like what you have to do is specifically go to the show that you want to listen to from the Library and hit "Play" or "Resume" or whatever the button is at the top (under the show thumbnail) instead of selecting a specific episode. Selecting an episode seems to assume that you want to listen to a variety, not that you want to start listening to the podcast at that specific episode and continue in order.
