No Control for Car Play Auto Playing Podcasts

For weeks I have not listened to a podcast in my car and then suddenly it starts to play when Podcasts was not open on the iPhone 14. Now every time I start the car, the podcast begins to play without the app Ben being open. I start my Honda CRV 2019 20-30 times a day, and this is driving me crazy. I restarted the phone and car radio system. I disconnected the connection between my phone and car radio, only to have it start right back up again. I tried turning Bluetooth off and airplay off. I tried deleting the podcast app from the Home Screen, etc. and nothing seems to work.

Any help would be appreciated. I am running 17.5.1 on iPhone 14.
