Since updating to iOS13 my podcast app crashes every time I try to stream a podcast. Updates to 13.1.1 and 13.1.2 have not fixed the issue.
The only way I have been able to play a podcast is by first downloading an episode, navigating to downloaded episodes, then playing from there.

I had the same problem but could resolve it easily (after having two weeks frustration).
Just press the Podcasts app for one long second. Now you can choose one of your podcasts. It starts playing.
Go back to your normal screen and you can open the Podcasts app normally. It will not crash anymore (at least on my phone).
Seems to be working again.
App is working without crashing today. I did not do anything to resolve.
Same issue here (just updated to 13.2.3 last week; iPhone XR) and no fix outlined here seems to work consistently. I've tried the "enter Podcast app via long press" (never worked), and the "reset Network Settings" fix, which worked for about half an hour and then the app started shutting down again.
Update from Cupertino, please.
This started on my phone today. Have been listening for hours every day for months (since i bought the phone), never had a problem. Suddenly today the app stops/crashes after playing for a podcast for a very short time (between a couple of seconds and maybe a minute). Impossible to use the app now. Tried closing app, rebooting phone, reinstalling app. Nothing helps.
Your timing syncs perfectly with mine. A clear sign that somebody at @Apple flipped the wrong bit this morning.
Clock's ticking on a hotfix...in the meantime I'm looking at Overcast.
