Continuous Playback of podcasts

When one podcast finishes another starts, sometimes its a different program. I have turned off 'Continuous Playback'. It seems to be a new feature, maybe with the last update. Can I disable/turn it off?

Same! Seems to be a bug to me because I have Continuous Playback turned off, too. When this happens, I can see that there are a bunch of episodes that have been added to the queue.


Another related bug is that it will also mark that next episode as played even if you didn’t actually listen to it, so be careful that you are not missing episodes because they are erroneously being marked as “played”! This bug is the most frustrating.
