Podcast wont run in background

[Saraba]

So my music plays in the background no problem. My collected podcasts will not play in background. What's going on?

@Saraba Could you tell me a bit more about what is happening?

Does this happen with all podcasts, or just one of them?

Are you listening to Pandora on a computer or on a device?

1. If you are on a computer, are you listening from:
• A Mac or Windows computer?
• Our website, or the desktop app? If you're listening from our website, what browser are you using?
2. If you are on a device, what is the make and model (and carrier, if applicable)?
3. Is there an error message? If so, what does it say?
4. Can you provide me with a screenshot/screen-recording of what you're seeing? 

Thanks for working with me on this. 🤝

It seems to be only certain podcasts, not all of them. I'm on a Verizon Google Pixel 3. It will stop playing the podcast when I go back to my home screen, as if it were being paused, then when I go back to Pandora it starts the podcast over. I never see any error messages.

@Saraba Thanks for following up.

Can you please provide me with the names of some of the podcasts where you are able to reproduce this?

I appreciate your continued patience with this.
