Oh, goddamnit.

Are you kidding me? Currently my car radio can control the music app and let me listen to podcasts. Why would they take that functionality away?

Your car radio can control any app that supports the remote control API, which podcasts does.

Interesting -- what other apps use the remote control API? I have never been able to control anything other than "Music" with either of my cars.

Aside from using the phone to make calls, of course.

Well, that's kind of silly. Not a huge deal, but I listen to my podcasts through a playlist that gathers all the podcasts I subscribe to, so it mixes it up a bit. Sounds like it won't happen anymore…
