Hello. New MacBook Pro M1 won't play podcasts or audiobooks for longer than 20 odd minutes before the Apps crash. Also does the same when listening to BBC podcasts on BBC sounds on both Safari and Firefox.
Thank you and take care.

Hi spikestarmer,
Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand the Podcast app, Books app and your web browsers are crashing when listening to audio after a certain amount of time, and we'd like to assist. Do you have any macOS updates available?
Before updating, we recommend backing up and checking the disk for errors.
Back up your Mac with Time Machine
Repair a storage device in Disk Utility on Mac
You may also want to see if the issue occurs when booting in safe mode. This can help rule out third-party software conflicts.

Hi spikestarmer,
If you notice it doesn't occur in safe mode, you may consider removing any login items you may have and then restarting. This article has the steps:
Remove login items to resolve startup problems on your Mac
This can help fix any third-party software issues that may be causing the issue.
Take care.
Thank you for the reply.
Will give safe mode a try as am fully updated to Monterey 12.0.1 and first aid in Disk Utility didn't fix it, I've noticed that it also does the same when using iTunes as well.
Will let you know.
Take care
