Q: Podcast "temporarily unavailable"??

Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be a problem?  I use the built in Podcast App on my Ipad (Gen 3) All my podcasts play just fine except for two that I listen to from the same person.  They used to work but for a while, but now, every time I try to play any of the episodes it says that it is "temporarily unavailable"  I have tried to subscribe/unsubscribe, restarting, playing different episodes but nothing.  Any other podcast, no problem.  Just these two

iPad, iOS 9.3.4, null

You already tried all the standard troubleshooting steps.

The issue might be with the producer. I've only seen this message when podcast episodes are in the process of being updated, or the publisher stopped uploading them to iTunes.

 

Try contacting the producers. Their contact info is in the iTunes description.

    I appreciate the help.  I did contact them prior to posting here on their twitter acct.  He said he was unaware of any problems like this and was echoed by a few other people in the replies, stating they were able to play it just fine.  Its so weird especially when it used to work and it still shows new episode as its released.  However when I go to play it I get that message.  Very strange indeed
