When I have an offline podcast on the app, the playback starts at a random time. So I have to scroll all the way back to the start of it.
Steps to Reproduce the Issue
Download a podcast for offline usage
Optionally turn your phone to flight mode (but not mandatory)
Play the local file by selecting it in the "local podcasts" list.
The podcast will start at a random position of the stream.
What was Expected?
The podcast is started at the beginning of the stream.

Correct @nichwall - I could not find them when searching from the issues. Closing mine as a duplicate of those ones.
