I have a Google Pixel 3 XL. I just updated to Android 10, and since the update, I've experienced a strange problem with Google Podcasts. I can stream music to my Chromecast Audio without any issues, but when I try to stream a podcast, the app becomes non-responsive. If I start a podcast and then click the Cast icon, it works fine and the podcast comes through the speakers, but that's when the trouble starts. The app itself becomes non-responsive. I can't pause, rewind, fast forward, or anything. The only way I can get the app to stop playing is to go into the Home app, select the speaker, and then hit the 'Stop Casting' button. There isn't even a play/pause button in the center of the volume control.
I know the Google Podcast app isn't that popular, and streaming it to a Chromecast Audio is probably even less so, but has anyone else noticed this problem?
I contacted Google Online Help, but they put me in touch with YouTube Paid Support, and they weren't able to assist. They sent me a link to open a trouble ticket with the Google Podcast team, but the form was looking for information about a specific podcast; not with the app itself. I filled out the form, but I have a feeling it will not go anywhere.
Any suggestions would be really helpful.
Thanks!
