Why can't I listen to certain podcasts (doggcatcher and beyondpod)

[Nvidiaguy07]

I don't think it's the app that is the problem, but more of a problem with the RSS feed. There are certain episodes that are not audio. They say what the podcast is about, but there is no icon that says you can download or listen to.

I've had this happen to me a few times with multiple podcasts and haven't found a solution besides listening on the website if it's as available.

Most recently this has happened to me with the PCgamer podcast. If you look at the last two episodes - you can't download them at all.

Any way to fix this?

The feed is broken.

Look at the raw feed.

There are no enclosure links for episodes 365 or 366.

The first enclosure link that appears is 364.

The feed has standard links for 365 and 366 if you want to manually download and listen.

Got it. Thanks for the links.

How does this happen? And to PCgamer - you'd think they of all podcasts would not mess this kind of stuff up.

How have they not realized that anyone not listening on itunes has probably had problems listening to the last two podcasts?
