Sleep timer failure in Podcasts

iPhone 8 plus

Podcasts App

I can set a sleep timer, it will show the proper countdown, then just go on to the next podcast as if no timer had been set.

Until the most recent iOS update, this problem was intermittent. Now, it never works.

Has anyone else experienced this? Do you know of a solution?

Thanks in Advance.

When iPad "falls asleep" the podcast I'm listening to via internet sleeps along with it... solution? Is there a solution to this? I feel like on my iPhone or computer, the device going to sleep doesn't affect podcast etc listening, but with my iPad, once it goes to sleep, so does my podcast. Are podcasts like YouTube where (unless you pay extra) it doesn't let you keep hearing audio from the internet despite it going to sleep? But also, if it's an Apple Podcast it seems to continue to play despite the device sleeping (the podcast that keeps going to sleep is one from another forum). So I'm a little confused here. Thanks for any help.

HomePod now playing prevents resuming a podcast on iPhone After the iOS 14.5 update, my iPhone 12 Pro Max shows what is playing on the HomePod in my house, and if I want to resume a Podcast on my iPhone, I can't. In the podcast app, at the bottom, where you would start playing the current episode, it shows what's playing on the HomePod. I have to stop the HomePod (that my kids are listening to), then I can start my podcast on the phone, then restart the HomePod. Is this a wide-spread bug (or "feature") or is it just me?
