Podcast player audio speeds up randomly by itself.

Does anyone have a fix for this? I didn't accidentally touch it. It doesn't have to be in my pocket to speed up to 1 ½ x, although it sometimes while it is in my hand or pocket. Today, it happened twice, once on the sofa a couple of feet away, and again while docked and charging. I usually have to unlock it to change the speed back to normal. Reboot doesn't fix, at least not for long.

Podcasts App audio speed About a week ago now the audio speed is increased like double time. I first thought it was something with my car Bluetooth hook up, but even when disconnected from my car it still has the issue. Any advice?

Podcasts fast forwarding or rewinding when I tilt or move phone When I wear headphones, the Apple podcasts app is suddenly responding to how my phone moves. It fast forwards or rewinds very quickly if the phone tilts left or right, and it will stop or start playing if I raise or lower my phone, and the Siri circle will pop up (even though I have Siri turned off for everything). So now if I go for a walk and try to listen to a podcast, having my phone in my pocket at any angle causes complete chaos. It doesn't happen when I am listening on a Bluetooth speaker, even when my phone is in my pocket and I'm moving around. It only seems to be with headphones, and it'll do it whether the phone is locked or unlocked. I can't find anything in the podcast app settings or my phone settings to turn this off. It started about a week ago and it's making me crazy. I've tried Googling but haven't found a solution. Is anyone having a similar issue?

iPhone podcasts not working properly Podcasts. Only a generic icon is showing for all podcasts. Podcast downloading takes excessive time. Playing podcasts starts and stops.
