Life Hack!
I won’t make you go read all my posts above so I am going to summarize what I have experienced.
I am using the F-Droid version
This issue only happens on podcasts that have ads inserted.
I don’t stream the podcasts. I always download.
When it happens, I delete the episode and redownload it and the problem does not appear for that particular episode.
On accident I found a trick that works
If podcast skips, I rewind and then hit pause, let it sit for 5 seconds, press play and boom, it doesn’t skip again.
Came looking for answers. Another Google refugee. I am listening on a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra
I normally listen (stream) while driving, so I’m sure there are moments between towers & dead spots where connection is halted.
Semi-regular instances of sudden skip-backs, replaying a section. Does NOT seem to coincide w/Ad breaks. Whatever time is repeated is then missed at the end of the episode, so if it happens too much, you lose more than the closing credits.
Still seeing this problem on a OnePlus Nord running Android 12, with AntennaPod 3.5.0 (300baf6dd) installed from Google Play (I think)
I only stream pods, typically from the episode list in the subscriptions section. I never download. I’ve seen the problem with various podcasts including The News Agents (Global), The Rest Is Politics (Goalhanger), The Rest is Money (Goalhanger), and Talking Politics (ITV News).
I am also experiencing this issue.
I mostly stream episodes via wifi and data. I’ve had this happen with several podcasts. some examples: Lore, No Dogs in Space, Ongoing History of New Music.
Sometimes it skips forward, sometimes back.
It seems to be happening in podcasts that are trying to insert ads.

I have been having the issue for a long time and still have it. I usually force close the app, clear the cache and then start it again, that solves the issue. However even if that solves the issue I sometimes have trouble finding where the skip happened and have to seek a bit forwards and backwards before finding where I were. I listen to several podcasts with ads however I don’t know if those ads are injected on the fly.
This happens to me both when streaming and in downloaded podcasts. It is not limited to certain creators but happens in all of the podcasts I consume. Sometimes it happens multiple times per episode. Initially I thought perhaps something I was doing was triggering the behavior but realized it was not user error/behavior.
Same
Same issue as others described. Nothing I do fixes the skipping and I can’t take it anymore. I’m about to jump ship on this app. No other podcast app i’ve tried does this, so it can’t be that hard to crack.
AntennaPod version 3.6.1 (8ec7d08e2)

Samsung Galaxy Flip5
I first thought this was an Android Auto issue, but it happened while taking the dog for a walk. Then I thought it was an Antennapod issue so I switched to listening to podcasts on YouTube Music Premium, and the same thing is happening on there. So the grass isn’t greener on the other side.
Had the same problem today. Happend only when streaming the Podcast.
Tried it in a different Player (Podcast Republic), here the problem die mit occur.
Downloading the episode in Atennapod solved the problem.
If helpful, I can provide Info which podcast episode and which Minute
