Hi. What happens if you use this station on your desktop client? After liking a couple of tracks there, try it on your android again and see if it works now.

EDIT: It seems there may be something wrong at spotify's end affecting radioand has been escalated.

Well it just randomly started working...maybe it was just a fix itself issue...strange that it wouldn't even after a full reboot reinstall, but I'm not complaining...

Sorry...different account

On android and I get this error for every radio station. I have cleared cache reinstalled and tinkered with stuff no luck. Issue started 24 hours ago. Playlists work without any issue.
