Podcast Data Appears not to be Syncing Properly Between Desktop and Android Versions

Not sure if it just me, but the Android app is functioning in a rather bizzare way when it comes to podcasts.

I have played through all Worldly podcast episodes. The desktop version is set to display all unplayed episodes (and it is displaying episodes properly by showing there are none). The Android version is marking all of them as played (as it should), but its acting as though I am still in the middle of the North Korea episode. I am not and it shouldn't be displaying that half dot beside it. When I go to the page on android, it center on that same episode as the first. I don't think it should be acting like that. None of the episodes should be marked with any blue dot -- half-filled or full.

Foreign Policy's The Editor's Rountable (E.R.) podcast is a different story. On the desktop version, I marked through all of the episodes that are old and untimely as played (by going through and starting the episode and moving the time indicator to the very end). The desktop page is the same as Worldly. The data being displayed on the desktop version is correct. The Android version of this page is a mess. It is marking the most recent episode from E.R. as unplayed (despite having listened to it on my phone earlier) and it is saying that I am in the middle of the The "Looks like I Picked the Wrong Week to Stop Sniffing Glue" Edition. I have to manually go through and move the time indicator on every single episode.

Is there some setting I have failed to check or uncheck, or is this something else (like unfinished features that have yet to be released/updated)?
