This problem occurs with only one of my subscribed podcasts  
This retired programmer can’t imagine how anything regarding my oppo phone could affect this problem.

The podcast host’s server sent a broken podcast feed.

Technical reason:  
The podcast host changed the ID of an existing episode instead of just updating the episode itself. AntennaPod still refreshed the feed and attempted to repair it.

Original episode:  
Title: Slime moulds, soil, Shackleton and snow  
ID: [Slime moulds, soil, Shackleton and snow - ABC listen](http://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/scienceshow/slime-moulds,-soil,-shackleton-and-snow/13486908)  
URL: [https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/rn/podcast/2021/08/ssw\_20210807.mp3](https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/rn/podcast/2021/08/ssw_20210807.mp3)

Now the feed contains:  
Title: The Science Show - Saturday, August 7  
ID: [The Science Show&nbsp;- Saturday, August 7 - ABC listen](http://www.abc.net.au/listen/programs/scienceshow/13486836)  
URL: [https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/rn/podcast/2021/08/ssw\_20210807.mp3](https://abcmedia.akamaized.net/rn/podcast/2021/08/ssw_20210807.mp3)

File URL:  
[https://www.abc.net.au/feeds/2885480/podcast.xml](https://www.abc.net.au/feeds/2885480/podcast.xml)

I get this message with every episode. It was fine on the late Google Podcast, the app and the website.  
I speculate that Jon Postel’s advice, to be lenient with what you accept, applies here.

Filling in most of those fields is tedious and error-prone. Much, perhaps all of the information is available to the app.

I have just freshly subscribed to that podcast and get both variations of that episode listed without any error messages.
