A few podcast such as Huberman Lab & Practical Stoicism are not playing?

Playing songs with no issue but some podcast are not playing at all, it's just keep getting stuck at 0:00, I've tried skipping, changing to different episodes, restarting device, clearing cache, uninstalling then reinstalling the app but everything goes to vain. My Wi-Fi is not the problem because the same podcast are working on my brother's phone who is on a different account.

My device : Redmi Note 7 Pro (6/128)
Spotify Version : 8.7.72.546
Country : India
Free space : 50 GB

Hey there @Faber2, 

Thanks for reaching out about this here in the Community. 

Could you let us know if this happens across devices or only on your phone?

On another note, would you mind asking a friend or a relative to log in to their account on your phone to check if the same happens? 

We understand that your brother's account works well on the Wi-Fi, but we recommend trying with a different network, for example creating a hotspot on your phone and using that to see if that makes any difference. 

Let us know how it goes.

Well I tried it on a different phone with the same account and it works on that. So, the problem is with my device.

Hey there @Faber2,

Thanks for the reply.

Can you try downloading one episode from these podcasts, switch on Offline Mode from Settings and try playing it like that? Does it start playing on your phone at all?

Keep us posted.

I am unable to download these two podcast specifically. I tried witha different podcast(TedTalks) and was able to download & play offline. I am also able to download songs and listen to them offline.

When I try to download these to podcast, they simply get stuck
