Apple Podcasts not working because the server can’t be found My podcasts haven’t been updating for about 2-3 weeks now and I didn’t understand why. I couldn’t listen to any either. I just tried to follow a new one out of curiosity and kept getting “cannot follow because the server or feed cannot be found.” (Pictured) I’ve tried restarting my phone, reinstalling the app, deleting the data and nothing works. Apple Music still works fine so it’s not a sub issue, I’m at a loss.

Podcasts are "temporarily unavailable" on multiple apps For a few days now, I believe following the 16.5.1 update, I've been I unable to download or stream most new podcasts, with an error message saying they're "temporarily unavailable". This is consistent across Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and Amazon Music. The only exception I've found is the NPR News podcasts, with Up First and NPR News Now both working normally (but not, for example, This American Life, or various other non-NPR podcasts). This happens both on my home wifi and on mobile data, and only seems to affect my iPhone 14 (my iPad and MacBook are fine). I've rebooted the phone and reset the network settings, but no luck. Any help is greatly appreciated!
