Pagination does not work with custom query

Hello, please forgive me but I’m new to WordPress and Seriously Simple Podcasts.

I have a custom query that loads my podcast episodes first page, but second page cannot be found.

Can someone please explain to me what is wrong with my code?

    	<?php
        $paged = (get_query_var('paged')) ? get_query_var('paged') : 1;
 
          $args = array(
            'post_type' => array('podcast'),
            'posts_per_page' => 9,
            'paged' => $paged,
          );

        		
        $query = new WP_Query( $args );

    	if ( $query->have_posts() ) :
    		while ( $query->have_posts() ) :
    			$query->the_post();
    			get_template_part( 'template-parts/post');
    		endwhile; ?>
        <div class="w-full text-center">
          <?php if ($query->max_num_pages > 1) { // check if the max number of pages is greater than 1  ?>
           <nav class="prev-next-posts">
             <div class="prev-posts-link">
               <?php echo get_next_posts_link( 'Older Entries', $query->max_num_pages ); // display older posts link ?>
             </div>
             <div class="next-posts-link">
               <?php echo get_previous_posts_link( 'Newer Entries' ); // display newer posts link ?>
             </div>
           </nav>
          <?php } ?>
        </div>
    	<?php else :
    		get_template_part( 'template-parts/content', 'none' );
    	endif;
    	?>

Thank you in advance for your help, looking forward to figuring this out.
