This is something I really notice. I download my podcasts at home and listen to them at work, I could listen to may 7-8 hours at work and I come home in the evening at maybe 30-40% battery from a full charge and after playing about with the phone its dead at bedtime.

At the weekend I don't listen to podcasts and just play about on the phone, the one charge would do me all day Saturday and right through until about 5pm Sunday.

I've tried the Apple Podcast app and Pocketcasts, not much difference, I've been listening to podcasts a long time, ever since I got my iPhone 3G basically and it wasn't always like this, for me I think in went downhill after ios 11.

Anyone else have this issue?
