Apple Podcasts: Continue Play feature disappeared, automatic playback stopped

Continue Play has disappeared from Apple podcasts. After years and years of using podcast app, my phone will no longer play episodes automatically. Instead I have to add each episode to queue manually. When I am trying to listen to a show with hundreds of episodes it is very frustrating. Any ideas?

I’ve tried about every trick to fix this. clearing my continuous play. selecting play from different screens. nothing seems to work. i suspect it’s a bug with apple. there is an update to my ios to 27.2.1 so maybe it’s that?
