Bluetooth, Headphones, iHome, and Podcasts

Question

Please forgive me if there's a thread complaining of my problem and I just haven't found it.  I did a search of Bluetooth and Podcasts and none seemed to fit my problem.
     Problem: The podcasts app is constantly backtracking my podcasts.
     Circumstances:  1. I get in the car in the morning, my stereo wakes up and finds my iphone, or
                              2. I get in the shower in the morning and my ION soundsplash picks up my iphone, or
                              3. I put on a pair of headphones, listen for awhile to a podcast on my iphone and then unplug
     For all of these moments, I get near identical issues:
     The podcast app does not pick up where I left off and throws me back, sometimes by 20 minutes or more.  In the car, my stereo finds the app, and I hear nothing by silence.  I have to hit the :15 back button so that the app continues where it left off.  However, when I turn off the car, without fail, the app returns the counter on my podcast BACK to where I was listening to the podcast when I first got in the car.  For example, I get in the car and the podcast app starts to play at 20:37 into the podcast.  I drive 10 minutes to the store, and as I turn off the car and look at the app, everything looks fine.  However, once I press play, I get silence, so to alleviate this silence, I hit the :15 back button and the app returns me to where I began: 20:37.
     With the ION splash: Once I turn the splash off, the podcast leaps back to the spot the podcast started from.
     With a pair of Apple earbuds, I plug in with the headphones, and when I unplug, the app leaps back to where I started.
     This is not a phone issue, because none of these sypmtoms take place when I'm listening to the music app.  This was not a problem in iOS 6 under the music app.  This is clearly a problem with the podcast app.
ANY solutions?

Answer 1

There is no solution that works to talk on Skype via Bluetooth.  I have called and tested every which way for iPad.
I have 2 Bluetooth headsets - they work beautifully on Mac, Winblows and Linux for Skype calls.
They also work perfect for listening to music, on the iPad - I even hear incoming Skype chat and phone call alerts.
Click answer and the audio goes to the built in mic/speaker on the iPad. 
I checked with Skype, Truphone, Fring - all have told me that Bluetooth is enabled in their code.
Sad that Apple could not add one line of code in iOS5 in order to enable audio and mic for the actual calls... 
Skype broadcast their new iPad app. all over the web "now,with Bluetooth capability" - not one developer actually paired a device to see if it worked? Also sad...
Wired headsets do work.  I wish the iOS5 video were to show these people - and Siri getting tangled as the fight to plug in - like I do all day.
This is not a problem with the type of Bluetooth headset - it's a code problem in iOS.  TIRED of getting tangled up in wires, so that I don't sound like I am on a speakerphone.
If anyone has successfully made a skype call using Bluetooth - post -  prove me wrong.   As a recruiter, I read resumes and call people - I don't need an iPad for music. iPad = a Corvette with wooden wheels.
I had a wireless USB headset working but then Apple turned that off on their end too... 'the device you plugged in uses too much power' - camera connection kit - in the trash.
