When using Bluetooth, Google Play Music sometimes takes over the audio

I have Bluetooth in my car and also regularly use my LG tone headphones (HBS-730). I often to listen to podcasts using Pocket Casts. Recently, when I pause the podcast using Bluetooth controls, and then Bluetooth again to resume play, Google Play Music will sometimes start up instead of the podcast I was listening to.

It's annoying because podcasts are usually a lot quieter than music, and so when it happens I get blasted with loud music. If I'm driving it's double-annoying, since I don't want to be messing about with the phone directly while driving.

Any thoughts on how to prevent this?

Phone is Samsung Galaxy S6, bought SIM free in the UK (SM-G920F). Android 5.1.1.
