iOS: Prevent apps from pausing audio

When I'm listening to audio (either Music or Podcasts) and I open certain apps, the audio stops and I have to go back into the Music/Podcast app and restart playback. CNN's and MLB.At Bat are two example where this happens at the moment.

Is there anyway I can override this and let the audio continue to play no matter what app I open?

All apps on my phone are up to date and I'm running iOS 14.4.1
