Keep Pokémon Go from taking over audio I like to drop into Pokémon Go while I'm out and about in the world. Trouble is that I'm usually listening to a podcast or some music, and as soon as I launch the app it takes over the audio, so that whatever I was listening to stops. 

Of course, I have the settings for the app with music and sound effects off. 

Is there a way to use the app while still listening to a podcast?
I solved the problem this way:

When you listen to your podcast or music and launch Pokemon Go, the music stops playing. Go to your recent tasks, open your music/podcast app and start playing your music again. After that just open recent tasks again and switch over to pokemon go.

If your phone holds more than 1 app in RAM and is not killing them, this should work.
