My Question or Issue

 I can no longer listen to the current day of the BBC Global News Podcast even though it shows up on the podcast titles. I can play yesterday's and prior days. This is true both on my Windows PC and my iPhone. On my Windows PC I get the blue bar at the top of the screen saying "Spotify can't play this right now. If you have the file on your computer you can import it". On my iPhone the play bar briefly shows at the bottom of the screen then disappears. It didn't used to be this way -- I have listened to this podcast every morning for months Any ideas?

Hey @satuthill, welcome to the community 🙂

 

Thanks for the reports! We are already aware of this, and we have raised this to Spotify staff. 

 

I’ll reach back here for any updates 😊

I am having the same issue without the error bar appearing. It just stops playing immediately after the ribbon comes up at the bottom. I’m paying for premium so this is a little frustrating. 

I am still seeing the same problem. This would not seem to be a hard
problem to fix -- come on Spotify. By the way you can listen to the BBC
podcast for free on Apple iTunes. I really don't want to go that route but
it works.
