Podcast unable to load or download on Iphone

Our weekly church podcast is unable to work on certain Iphone devices using the Podcasts App. It either won't download, or says it cannot connect, or that it is unavailable. The Podcast works fine on Android devices, as well as ITunes on Mac and Windows.

The Podcast URL is pcast://itunes.apple.com/za/podcast/new-life-in-christ-city-church-cape-town/id1387741264?mt=2

This problem only started late last year. Please help!

iPhone 5s

Podcast message - Unable to play. Something went wrong. Try again later I have iTunes on my PC and use this device to manage my podcasts, music etc. I then synch the PC with my iPhone 6s. Everything has been working fine for many years until yesterday when I tried to play a BBC podcast on my iPhone and received the above message. The podcasts play as normal on my PC suggesting it is something to do with the phone or iTunes but I'm not sure which. I've looked online and can't find much about the problem or how to resolve it. I've updated the iOS to 13.4.1. I've re-started my phone. I've un-synched then re-synched the podcasts from my PC to the phone again. Does anyone know anything about this problem and how to fix it? Many thanks.

Podcast working everywhere except Apple Podcasts Hi,I have been having some trouble getting my latest podcast episode to work on the apple podcasts app. I haven't ever had any problems with the previous 3 episodes so this is quite confusing for me. When I click on the episode I get the infamous "episode is unavailable" message. I have tried streaming the episode via a third party app and that seems to work fine but when I have tried playing the episode via the Apple app on various other Apple devices (4 other iPhones) I have had a mixed result with most of them getting the same error message. I am hosting the podcast through a Squarespace site.This is the podcast link on iTunes: Wax Lyrical by Bahath on Apple PodcastsI have a feeling that it may be some kind of bug specific to the apple podcast app and the devices I used because I know the app has had a lot of issues. Although I am not sure. I was wary about sharing the episode to followers just in case the issue was something that was affecting all devices and was something I needed to fix from the source.It's been really frustrating trying to figure it out if anybody had any pointers that would be fantastic. Thanks!!
