My Question or Issue

 The download button on podcasts is not performing any action when pressed. The button 'bounces' when pressed but does not actually do anything, i.e., podcasts do not begin downloading, and previously downloaded podcasts are not removed from downloads. Selecting 'Download'/'Remove download' from the drop-down menu similarly does not do anything. I am not experiencing any issue with songs/albums/playlists etc., only podcasts. Confirmed that my premium status is still active and I am connected to wifi.
