Podcast not downloading automatically

I have all of my podcasts set to download automatically. Most of them do, except for New York Times: The Daily. Though it's set to download automatically, it won't download until I go to Library / Shows / The Daily; then, it will start automatically downloading.


Does anyone know why this podcast won't download automatically, even though it's set to do so?

I have the same issue with some of the podcasts I follow. One morning podcast turned up after four refresh attempts throughout the morning marked as published 5h ago! This is the third or fourth time since the last update that the Podcasts app hasn’t updated properly. Last Sunday nothing arrived until early afternoon.
