Can listen to music but podcasts wont play

[Mrsvan1]

Hi

I've been listening to podcasts for ages, I can play music, but then when I go to play a podcast I can open the podcasts but they won't play when I click on play

Any ideas??

Reminds me of the bug on PS4, if your time zone is set incorrectly you can’t even open the PlayStation store till it’s corrected.

Please help. Why am I even paying for premium. The only update I have is the podcasts will play on wifi, which doesn’t help me since I listen in my car. Immediately plays any podcast besides “the dollop” or “other world” sometimes other podcasts but significantly those two will never play. They work fine on computer or on wifi, I can also download them in advance and they will play. But that doesn’t solve the underlying issue. I have tried turning off private relay with no luck also checked my location is USA.

Hope this helps someone. But Ive fixed this issue for myself. I noticed it would not play these certain podcasts on any platform, It turns out it was not a spotify problem for me but my Cell service unbeknownst to me had adult content filtering on and they blocked the hosting site for the two podcasts, so as a result the podcasts would never get past the buffering page. To check to see if this is a problem you are having try and find the RSS feed readout from a site like podcastaddict.com and copy the URL for the media to your phone, load it and see what you get returned to you, for me it came back as a bad SSL certificate but once I loaded the parent sites URL in this case MGLN.AI, It came back with a T Mobile site letting me know adult content filtering had blocked access. Then I called Tmobile and had them turn that off fixing my issue.

Good luck!

My Question or Issue

Over the last couple of days when I am trying to listen to a podcast a song will begin to play.  If I click on play again (doesn't matter which podcast) the song will change each time.  I have had to quit listening for the day.  The next day I can listen to a couple of podcasts and then it will start again.
