Podcast playback speed changes on it's own.

I run and play podcast as I run. Lately as I am running the playback speed changes on its own. I first thought it was because my phone was in my sweatshirt pocket and banging around the speed was changing. I took my phone out of my pocket and was walking and watching the speed change several times on it's own. So it banging in my pocket was not the reason. I have Airpods in my ears and thought that might be the reason. So I will try with wired earphones next time.

iPhone SE, iOS 12.1

Podcasts fast forwarding or rewinding when I tilt or move phone When I wear headphones, the Apple podcasts app is suddenly responding to how my phone moves. It fast forwards or rewinds very quickly if the phone tilts left or right, and it will stop or start playing if I raise or lower my phone, and the Siri circle will pop up (even though I have Siri turned off for everything). So now if I go for a walk and try to listen to a podcast, having my phone in my pocket at any angle causes complete chaos. It doesn't happen when I am listening on a Bluetooth speaker, even when my phone is in my pocket and I'm moving around. It only seems to be with headphones, and it'll do it whether the phone is locked or unlocked. I can't find anything in the podcast app settings or my phone settings to turn this off. It started about a week ago and it's making me crazy. I've tried Googling but haven't found a solution. Is anyone having a similar issue?

Podcasts App audio speed About a week ago now the audio speed is increased like double time. I first thought it was something with my car Bluetooth hook up, but even when disconnected from my car it still has the issue. Any advice?

When using my Apple ear buds and adapter my podcast stops and jumps around When using my Apple ear buds and adapter my podcast jumps around to other podcasts, goes to Siri and sometimes stops. Is this something with the adapter?
