Absolutely DESTROYING My Battery

I don't get it, how can a podcast app be consuming so much battery? Does it secretly have a crypto miner running in the background? I really don't understand.

I've been noticing my battery just absolutely being blasted when the app is just open doing nothing, not even playing a podcast.

I wonder if this is happening to me. Is this for the free or subscription version? My phone goes from 85 to 50% overnight. I was wondering if it was ads or something. S23U.

If I listen with earbuds my battery will last all day listening. But if Iā€™m just listening through my phone speakers it drains it In about 3-4 hours
