Description

### Description

Other Watch-based podcast apps pause (or can be configured to pause) when another app interrupts with an announcement, for example, a fitness app milestone or a GPS app instruction. With Pocketcasts, the third-party app speaks over the podcast, making it difficult to hear both. I believe it would be a better UX to have Pocketcasts pause when another app is speaking, or at least have the option to enable that behavior.
