Apple changed stuff in Big Sur

The space bar appeared to me to be the standard to start and stop playback in both Safari and for podcasts before Big Sur. It still is for Safari when playing YouTube videos but the space bar is no longer used for the Podcast program. Instead, they force me to use the option and space bar. :ptptptptp

Is there a way to change the playback start/stop key back to JUST the space bar?
