Ipad keeps taking over Airpods

I'm in the middle of listening to a podcast on my iphone with my Airpods.


All of a sudden, I get a notice on my ipad is connected to my Airpods...and my podcast stops. I have done nothing on my iPad that aught to initiate this takeover. I'm in the middle of typing in Notes when this happens.
