Podcasts now have a cloud symbol next to them.

Why do my podcasts in my library have a cloud symbol next to them? I can't play them now.

Any help is appreciated.

podcast wanting to re-download Hello! I have a small but weird issue that's really grinding my gears. Occasionally when I open iTunes, podcasts that I have already downloaded will show the cloud symbol next to them and need to be downloaded again. Has anyone seen this behaviour before? It's not the end of the world except I backup my local iTunes library to a NAS and then point my Sonos at it so my backup is constantly removing the tracks and reading them once I have re-downloaded them. Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!

New episodes are posting to apple podcasts site but not showing up as new episode in Podcast app I recently transitioned to Squarespace and have been having issues with the podcasts ever since. Each new episode is posting to the podcast.apple.com site, but the episodes are not showing up in the iOS Podcasts App (nor am I receiving 'new podcast episode available' alerts like I used to) UNLESS I delete the podcast from my library and add the show back. A bunch of subscribers have reached out to alert me to this, so I know it's not just me. Any idea what could be happening? https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/modern-chiropractic-marketing-show/id1227507871?ls=1&mt=2 https://www.modernchiropracticmarketing.com/podcasts Thank you!

A cloud with a downward pointing arrow in it? It means that the specific episode is not yet downloaded to your computer. Click on the cloud to download it.
