My Question or Issue

I just got a new phone S21+, switching to Verizon. The first time using, connected my headphones and my Playlists which have podcasts will not play. I cannot play any individual podcast episodes, either, from any source. I press play but nothing happens. Music WILL play. It's extremely frustrating - does anyone have any idea?

Looks like this was fixed shortly after the problem started. You should be able to listen to podcasts now.

Happy listening!
