How to stop syncing podcasts from multiple devices?
My family is all on the same Itunes account but we do not want to share podcasts. How to fix this from sharing to everyone so each phone user can set up their own podcast lists?

Hi Chomot!
I see that you're sharing an Apple ID, and have some issues with podcasts being shared across devices. I can understand why this would be a nuisance, and I'm happy to help. You can prevent podcasts from syncing across devices by going to Settings > Podcasts, then turn off Sync Podcasts.
Podcasts - Get podcasts and episodes
Having said that, I'd suggest creating individual Apple IDs at some point in the future. Once you've done that, you can sign in to the new Apple IDs and set up Family Sharing. This will allow you to share purchases that you'd like to share, and prevent other issues like this from popping up in the future.
Create an Apple ID
Sign in with a different Apple ID on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
