Episodes unable to refresh

Episodes no longer refresh. Error message refers to possible cause due to VPN or ad blocker. One subscribed podcast however continues to refresh. No VPN in use, and app runs by itself on Android 7 not through a browser with an ad blocker. This error appears to affect more of the podcast attempts I make. Got worse ever since Antenna Pod allowed for episode viewing and downloading without subscribing.

Try to use functioning RSS feeds with your browser to check if only AntennaPod have problems.
If it doesn’t work using browser there must be something wrong with either you RSS feeds or your phone blocking access.

Are you correlating use of the download-without-subscribing function with the issue you’re seeing, or just thinking that you started seeing the issue around the time that feature was rolled out? (I have only used that function a few times, am not using it now, and my episodes continue to refresh normally.)

Entered some podcasts on Podcast Addict. Error message was “broken RSS feed” after I tapped in “episodes” button. One such podcast was for “the dershow.” In the past, I recalled that a few podcasts failed to refresh or be accessible on Podcast Addict but would be ok on Antenna Pod. Now, a few podcasts won’t run on either. (AP still refreshes “Hour of Power” podcast episodes)
