iPhone Some podcasts won’t download

[Wilsonj3]

Hello, I am having a problem with some, but not all, podcasts not downloading. I have tried 3 different podcast apps including the Apple app and it’s always the same 5 podcasts that won’t download. Any ideas?

Since it's the same podcasts, I'm going with it's the podcasts' fault, not the apps. Podcast producers are responsible for storage/server to host their podcasts and the apps are going to those servers to get the episodes, including Apple's podcasts app.

For example, here's the path to Conan O'Brien's podcast episode with John Cleese in Apple's Podcasts app database:

So, server errors, not publishing properly, no longer publishing, other? Anything but the app(s) or OS fault.

I found out the problem was with Cloudflair 1.1.1.1. Once I turned that off my podcasts downloaded. I was able to turn it Mack on and haven’t had a problem since.
