Bug? Podcast app marking new downloads as Played

I’m seeing the same bug. Episodes marked as played before being played and removed from my “Up Next” queue causing me to miss new episodes. It’s dropping episodes into the player and marking them played automatically. Very frustrating. The podcast app is also continuously playing another episode even though I have that option turned off. I’ve toggled the option several times, still broken. I’ve even uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, no luck. These bugs are on my iPhone and iPad running 18. Definitely bugs. Definitely annoying. I don’t run the public betas because of issues like this but here we are on a final release with major bugs in the Podcast app. 🙁👎🏼
