Q: membership podcasts not downloading
I subscribe to a members only podcast. The Apple podcast app on iPhone mobile has recently been not allowing me to type in the membership information. It downloads the podcast, and then says "this podcast is currently unavailable". It used to pop up with the username/password option, but no longer does. The podcast author has said that he has heard that other's are having the same issue. I hope Apple is working on a fix? Anyone else have a suggestion?
iPhone 6s, iOS 9.3.4, Podcast app

Try these standard troubleshooting steps.
Reset: hold down the Home and Power buttons until you see the Apple logo (10-20 seconds).
If this doesn't help, you might need to Restore your iPhone: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204184
If your backup is to iTunes, make sure it's an encrypted backup.
