I have just started getting “episode temporarily unavailable” messages on 90+% of podcasts I try to play. I also cannot download them, the circle just goes around and around forever.
iphone SE(3)
newest ios
lots of free space
rebooted phone
reset Wi-Fi
thoughts?
I’ve been having the same issues. I’m on the latest version as of date if this post. Are you using a VPN? I disconnected from my VPN and attempted to stream/download the episode again and it worked immediately.

If you’ve downloaded the episode - delete it and stream it or re-download. I had the same issue after an update - my downloaded episodes would give the same error so I had to delete them all. Working fine now
No iOS updates. I am on the latest version.
Unfollowing and attempting to play off the show page does not work. Same error.
time zone did change. Do you think that affected it?
Always get a message on my lemonada podcast….episode temporarily unavailable
This happened to me on my iPhone when I installed a VPN as part of MS Defender (part of my MS 365 subscription). I deleted Defender to disable the VPN and that fixed the problem.
Strange. Are there any available iOS updates?
Maybe try unfollowing the show and streaming directly from search or the browse tab?
Has anything else changed on your device recently ? Locale, language, time zone etc?
I’m no expert, I’ve just had the same issue and it was super annoying
Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, I don’t have the eps downloaded. They won’t download and they won’t stream.
I'm having this same issue on MacOS podcast app. Just started a few weeks ago. It is only happening with certain podcasts. Those same feeds work just fine on my iPhone. Whats going on?
Disconnecting your VPN works.
This is very annoying. It’s obviously Apple, not the VPN. Are they trying to track non-ios users?
