Every podcast I try to listen to on my iPhone says "Episode Unavailable".

After posting Wednesday I even tried deleting the Podcast app entirely, reinstalling it from the App Store, and turning on automatic downloads. Still had the same problem. This morning I've discovered that the 60-Second Earth and 60-Scond Science podcasts work fine (but for some reason hadn't been updating for the last 2-3 weeks - maybe that made them immune to whatever's affecting the rest of them?). Whatever. Based on other threads and reviews in the App Store this problem has been affecting people for nearly two months with no sign of any attention from Apple to resolve. I simply don't have time for this, so I downloaded Stitcher and have experienced no bugs whatsoever as of yet.

Dear Apple - if you don't want to continue supporting this product, that's OK. Really, it is. Just have the decency to at least take it down from the App Store, rather than let people continue downloading a useless, broken app. And maybe even, in a show of goodwill, direct them to download Stitcher instead, which seems to work great, probably because their team is focused on one product rather than one thousand.
