Rivian Audible Podcast Glitch: Workaround and Seekinv Solutions

[Rivian Mom]

I’ve been trying to listen to podcasts in my Rivian, and knowing fully well there's no Apple Podcasts app built in, I decided to use Audible. The problem I encountered was, Audible’s podcast feature doesn’t work right.

When I tap on a podcast, it takes forever to load a screen, and then nothing happens. Episodes don’t show up, and the play button does nothing at all.
I tried restarting the system, but that didn’t fix it.

In the end, I found a workaround, though it’s a bit of a pain. If I start a podcast on the Audible app on my phone, it shows up in the Rivian’s Audible app under “Continue listening” on the home tab. From there, it plays directly without using Bluetooth. So when one episode ends, the next one in my phone’s queue starts automatically.

It’s not ideal, but at least it gets the job done until Rivian sorts this out. If anyone has found a better solution, please do well to share.
