Can’t resume playing a radio show

When I’m listening to a show like Time Crisis on Apple Music, there is no way for me to play music or close the app without losing my spot on the episode, which is a huge pain because they are often more than an hour long and it makes it difficult for me to pick up where I left off later. Apple Podcasts, on the other hand, remembers my progress on every show I listen to. Is there a solution to this that I’m not seeing or is it just poor design?

Podcasts are audio files that play on demand.


Radio, just like the olden days, is a stream that is live and can't be paused or resumed.
