2025 and podcast still don't synch across devices.

I've talked to Apple they put a "team on it" couldn't promise an answer. Every device I own doesn't synch and on occasion a podcast I was subscribed to a decade ago pops up. What's weird is that Overcast uses iCloud to manage subscriptions and it works. I'd prefer Apple's default app because I occasionally subscribe to podcasts and it's easier in one app. It's weird to me that TV works great and Music works great but the podcast app is still struggling.
