Persistent Podcast Loading on Mac Mini and MacBook after Sequoia 15.2

I have noticed that the topic has been removed from the board.

However, the issue persists. There is no time that we can log out, restart our Mac devices, or close the application.

This issue affects both our Mini and MacBook devices.

The podcast continues to run in the background. The only solution is to force shutdown. The application does not appear on the desktop; it is hidden in the Recent Items section.

Additionally, it appears that the issue has worsened after Sequoia 15.2. Is this a Mac hack or a programming error?
