Feature Request: Apple Podcasts App Support
I would imagine the Apple Podcasts app utilizes the same Apple Events that the Apple Music app does. It would be awesome if this app supported the Podcasts app too.
Unfortunately Apple Podcast app does not support any AppleScript. To my understanding, this means that it does not support Apple Events either. However, I have not tried to control it. You are right that there is a nonzero possibility that Apple Events are supported. I will check it out.

Well, I tried but it did not work. When I type
sdef /System/Applications/Podcasts.app
it returns "sdef: couldn't get sdef for /System/Applications/Podcasts.app (error -192)" whereas if I do the same for Music.app, I obtain the desired information to control the app. If you know more how to circumvent the lack of AppleScript support, let me know.

Came here to request this feature, saw your post, tried myself since it's been over a couple of years since last comment.
And sure enough, the Podcast app still doesn't support AppleScript, which is unfortunate. I'll submit feedback to Apple.
