You can force close it instead of Command+q by using Option+Command+Esc.

@anigbrowl looks like the question really was how he can force close it..........

Interestingly, you don't need to force quit in Activity Monitor. After cmd-q in Podcasts, sending a normal quit signal via Activity Monitor works.

It's mainly because Activity Monitor and Force Close Apps send "terminate" instead of the "applicationShouldTerminate" from cmd+q.

Thanks for clarifying the issue!

I consider this a bug in Podcasts then since a refresh can be very CPU intensive and the user would naturally quit the app to reduce CPU usage but doing that surprisingly doesn't work.
