The Podcast app on my iPhone 11 Pro is using 70% of the battery since I updated to iOS 14.5, and the battery is barely making it through a day. Before the update I generally had about 50% of the battery left at the end of the day. Yes, I listen to a lot of podcasts, but the screen is usually off, and this wasn't an issue before the update. Any idea what's going on and how I might fix it?

Hello,
With any new version of iOS there is always clean-up and reindexing work that consumes battery power. It should sort itself out in a few days. If you continue to have issues, these are the standards steps for short battery life:
1) Have you tried a restart? If not, do it now.
2) Go to Settings > Battery > BATTERY USAGE BY APP to see the apps that are consuming your battery.
3) Check “Battery Health” in the link:
iPhone Battery and Performance
4) If all else fails, consider a battery replacement:
Good luck.
