last 3 episodes of my podcast won't play on apple podcasts

I publish my podcast via anchor.fm to apple podcast. The latest 3 episodes play fine on other platforms but on apple I get the "won't play" message - its appearing but not playing or downloading - any ideas?

Your top episode - 8 - will download but won't play in iTunes. However I was able to download and play it in Amadeus Pro. The URL has https twice in it and involves a redirect on Anchor's server. For example

Earlier episodes, which do play in iTunes, have a similar URL: so it seems likely that there is a problem with the redirect, and you should query it with Anchor.
