UNABLE TO PLAY Try again later

I am trying to play a Podcast that I have a Patreon Subscription. I can listen to most episodes but there are several that say UNABLE TO PLAY- try again later. This has now been several weeks. Anyone else get this message? I have done everything EXCEPT removing Apple Podcasts and reinstalling (I’m so afraid I’ll lose everything)

Any help would be fabulous !

Hello Tante143,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you're encountering an error message Unable to Play when trying to play a Podcast. We'd like to help!


You mention the Patreon is the Podcast you're having an issue with. Are there others that you're encountering this issue with or just this one?


Are you able to download the podcast directly on your iPhone and listen to it? Can you stream it? Listen with Apple Podcasts

Are you otherwise able to access the Internet? For instance, can you view websites in Safari and access the App Store?


Try deleting the Podcast app and reinstalling it to see if that will correct the issue.

Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
