iOS 16 Podcasts Now Play Randomly

Before the iOS 16 update, I could set Podcasts to play the oldest unplayed episode from Consider This. When that ended, I could press the play button on my bluetooth speaker and the next oldest unplayed episode of Consider This would play. I could keep pressing play at the end of each episode until I played all of the unplayed episodes of Consider This.


Since upgrading to iOS 16, after an episode of Consider This finishes, pressing the play button on my bluetooth speaker plays some random podcast from any show in my library. This is annoying.


How can I get the Podcasts app to keep playing the podcasts from the current show?

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

This seems to be an issue with podcasts set to play Oldest to Newest. It’s really annoying. This bug, along with them removing the volume slider on the Lock Screen, are very annoying for me. They seem to have really cocked up podcasts on iOS 16.
