    I was busy loving the amazing podcasts, until this happened -

    Unable to Subscribe

    The provided link is not a valid Podcast.

    (when I click on Subscribe on an Iphone)

    Through the client I use (Podbox) it says “Not Available” below the podcast name. (everything is all right with the rest, tried restarting everything already)

    I put the 1 star just so you hopefully notice sooner. Hopefully for all of us.

    Thank you for your vibes.
