How to stay on longer

You have to tap on the app after you locate it.
Notice here, how the app Midori is shown as OPTIMIZING BATTERY use...
And then when I tap on it...
you can then see that I am given the choice to OPTIMIZE or DON'T OPTIMIZE.
Does the app you are using for the podcast only work for the one podcast, or can it work for many?
If it only does the one, then perhaps you would be better off using a browser for it instead.
I do not know if the app that you are using has settings for cookies, or if there is an automatic timer built in- or if it does if that timer is adjustable.
A browser is much easier to control as far as cookies, and would not have a timer.
But, in my experience, browsers do not tend to play in the background very well.
Yet another thing to consider is whether or not the app that you are using places a constant notification when it is running.
If it does, and you have turned this notification off, this can allow the system to turn the app off more easily.
Because Android systems are becoming more aggressive at turning apps off, some apps are using a 'sticky' notification in order to play continuously.
A browser that I use that does have such a 'sticky' notification as an option is called IDM+.
If this notification is bothersome, typically what you would do is to allow the notification via the app, and then block the notification in your notification settings.

Come, journey into my SMS.db nightmare...

The OP has simply posted in the wrong forum. The post itself says that they have a Note 20.
I guess from the way the post is written that "SMS.db" may be a iPhone database. I've limited experience with iPhone, but would assume that they use their own database format for these things which is different from an Android SMSMMS database file (hence the need for tools to transfer). From the size I'd also assume that it's mostly media messages, with including a lot of video, since I can think of no other way it could be 200GB in size (I have about 10.5k SMS on my phone and the backup file is about 11MB in size, which implies that 200GB would accommodate about 200 million SMS, and to build that up over 10 years would require about 54,000 texts per day
). Put another way, if that was mostly SMS then the file is corrupted in some strange way, because there is no way that SMS can take up that much space.
A corrollary of that would be that the database on the Note 20 should be much smaller than this if only SMS were transferred. So how much space is the Phone and Messaging Storage app using? That is the app that actually stores messages and call logs, i.e. that owns the phone's internal message database - you'll have to tell your "App Manager" Settings to show system apps, since by default the phone doesn't show you apps like this. Knowing the size plus how many messages your SMS apps think you have might help work out whether there is something messed-up here: if the storage used is disproportionate to the number of messages, and the messages are all SMS, that would imply that the transfer did something weird which might explain your slow response.
You could try different SMS apps (some are faster than others), but I suspect that's not where the problem lies.
Unfortunately I've no experience of transferring messages from iPhone to Android. I'd have thought that Samsung's setup app would have handled that though, since it's a very common use case, so I'm surprised you had to mess with all of these third party apps anyway.
