1 year ago I saved the support logs when this happened, but they don't really provide any information apart from confirming that the play/pause button wasn't working:

I 15/1 17:54:38 Paused - Not transientI also see a fair number of Could not sync episode progress. java.util.NoSuchElementException logs, but those were occurring for a long time before this problem occurred, so they may be unrelated to the playback freezing.
Description
While chromecasting the app to a Google Home Max speaker, playback suddenly stopped without me interacting with either the chromecast or the app. I opened the app and found I could not start playback because the play/pause button was stuck as a pause icon—tapping it did nothing in either the full screen or mini-players. The rest of the app was responsive. The only way I was able to get the app to play again was by swiping the app away and restarting it.

I don't know how to reproduce this. 😞
