I'd consider repurposing an old phone and making that your podcast/music player-only device. That way you have separation and you aren't getting sucked into endless scrolling and perpetual notifications. You could go one step further and buy a cheap brick phone. Use that for calls and texts.
If you separate out your media device from your mainstream communication device from your algo-entertainment device you'll probably manage things better, especially if you keep your entertainment device powered down when you aren't using it. You could go a step further and use tablet for your entertainment device, locking down your current phone to only specific functions and apps.
