The first time I though it was me but nope its the app.
I pause a episode X, start to play another. When I go back to the previous episode X it loses its place and starts over even though there was about 12 min left.
Also
Previously playing episodes Y & Z, pausing, playing some music going back to Y & Z days later, they start 20-30min to here they previously stopped.
Something is broke, as usual. Podcasts should still be marked as a Beta.
