Hi.



Crashing issue with the Podcasts app on your MacBook Air M4 running macOS 15.5. Since rebooting and updating didn’t help, try these:


  • Quit Podcasts completely (Command + Q) and reopen it.


  • Check for any pending system updates again.


  • Try deleting the Podcasts app cache by going to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.podcasts and removing its contents (make sure the app is closed first).


  • If nothing works, consider reinstalling the app or contacting Apple Support.


Hope this helps.
