Repeating Podcasts

A couple months ago my podcasts started repeating. So the episode finishes then just restarts.

prior to this when an episode finished it would go on to the next.

how can I fix this. I went to settings and nothing I helped. I thought about deleting the APP then downloading it again but I would be stuck with the thousands of episodes I already listened to. Normally I just listen to unplayed podcasts. Thank you for your time.
