Podcasts very slow to load

When I click on a podcast for a show that I follow, it takes several minutes for the podcast to load. Sometimes 10 or 20 minutes. I updated to the latest IOS offered (18.2). Using an iPhone SE.

iPhone SE, iOS 18

Apple Podcasts are slow or failing to load after iOS 17.4.1 update The Apple Podcast app isn’t loading quickly since the update and can often take several minutes for me to either enter a section on my Apple Podcasts app. It sometimes takes me quitting the app for the app to get either the download to become available or for it to delete. I have plenty of space on my phone for downloads. I am feeling very frustrated with the amount of time that it takes for Apple Podcasts to load. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
