Spotify app plays random podcasts when I open it up after connecting to my car's bluetooth

The past couple of days, when my Android phone has been automatically connecting to my car's bluetooth and then I open Spotify to continue listening to a podcast episode, a completely different and random podcast episode will start playing. All I want to do is continue listening to what I've already been listening to. It feels like the app is trying to be clever and do something when it detects that it's been connected to Bluetooth, but it's absolutely infuriating.

And now the updated queue to a terrible interface. I think this and the above still not being resolved (all a move to try and make people passively listen to Spotify's own algorithm of suggestions) means a switch to Apple Music and Apple Podcasts are more likely for me...

I get it too, and it's always Joe Rogen, which is even more annoying.than this bug.

Mine keeps playing Joe Rogan as well! I've never listened to him or been interested in his content. Is this still happening to you? How weird!
