Download Error. Tap to Retry.

I am experiencing problems with downloading a particular podcast via the iOS Podcast app on my iPhone 6. The URLs all work fine from my computer as well as from my iPad, so it appears to be a problem with the iPhone app itself.

The error I see on the podcast is "Download error. Tap to retry." I've attempted to attach an iOS console reader to my phone but there were no indications of any errors that popped up.

However, I am definitely able to download other podcasts from other feeds, and another app which downloads podcasts and plays them works just fine.

I would just use this other app, except that I'm also representing customers who are trying to use the Podcast app with these feeds as well, and are also failing. There's no further indication of what's wrong except that there was a "Download error. Tap to retry." Help!!

iPhone 6, iOS 8.3, Podcasts App

I meant to include examples as well.

The podcast that fails to download is "Freedomain Radio with Stefan Molyneux". The podcast that seems to work is "Freedomain Radio! Volume 5: Shows 1560-2119".

I am also having this problem. It is only happening with the podcast Freedomain Radio. My ghetto fix has been to delete the episode and then go to the search screen. I then search for the episode and download it directly from there. This has been working for me so far... I don't know why. I also don't know if it will keep working. Good luck!
