James,
I have some good news for you.
I can’t speak for iPhone as I’ve never had one, but on Android you can absolutely listen to music or a podcast while playing Pokemon Go, I do it all the time. Get your music or podcast player going first so that when you touch the top of the screen and pull down you can the music controls in the menu. Then launch Pokemon Go. Yes it will cut your music/podcast, but you immediately pull that down and hit play. It will cut the Pokemon Go Music and bring back whatever you were listening to.
The other way to do it is use that app like the one I use for podcasts that automatically starts back up where you left off when you turn on a Bluetooth headset. I use Podcast Addict for listening to all of my podcasts (including RFN) and I set the option to do this so if I wasn’t already listening to something when I open Pokemon Go and I decide to listen to my podcasts I just power on my Bluetooth set and the Pokemon Go music cuts and on comes RFN (or The Herd or Planet Money or Radio Lab whatever I’ve got set to play next).
