Q: Prevent podcast syncing of position and played status across devices

We are two people with two iPhones that share one Apple ID. We individually listen to some of the same podcasts on each iPhone. The "played" status and current position of the podcast episodes appear to get sync'ed between the phones at least some of the time. We don't want to this to happen, since we're listening to the podcasts individually. I've tried to prevent this:

  1. Settings -> Podcasts -> Sync Podcasts is OFF on both phones.
  2. Podcast syncing is turned OFF for both phones on iTunes (Windows).

We do both sync with iTunes regularly to update apps, music, etc. One solution is probably to get a second Apple ID, but I'd prefer not to.

iPhone 5c, iOS 9.3.2
