Tunein is the Tesla software to connect to Podcasts provided by tunein.com. It was developed by Tesla and not by Tunein (I checked before making bug reports).
TLDR is: it's crap.
I filed quite a few bug reports on it in V8. While its got a pretty new face in V9, all the core bugs that render it unusable are still there.
For example:
The iOS podcasting app is significantly better, but it is illegal to touch your phone while driving (to select a different podcast). Anyone else suffer from this first world problem?

For example:
- Old version showed the wrong timezone/day for podcasts. Now it simply doesn't show a date.
- Old and new version will return to the start of the podcast constantly while playing:
- if there is a break in connection, which seems to happen all the time, or
- if I stop and start the car.
- There's no indication of what is played
