Q: Strange bug with Podcasts App - Subscribes to wrong podcasts

I have an iPhone 6s with the most updated software. I have encountered a very strange bug: When I attempt to subscribe to or download new podcasts, instead of subscribing to and downloading the ones I want, it ONLY will subscribe to and download episodes from Welcome to Night Vale, which I don't want at all (and never even heard of until this started happening). What is going on!?

iOS 9.3.4, iPhone 6s

    Well hello there MiriamG411! 

     

    Thank you for choosing the Apple Support Communities to post this question. Personalizing your podcast playlists and subscriptions is only fun if you can actually download the content you want. Let's see if we can get that interesting "Welcome to Night Vale" out of sync. To start, go ahead and open your Podcast application and tap on the Featured icon at the bottom of the screen. When you're on the Featured page, scroll all the way to the bottom of the screen and tap on your Apple ID. A resulting window will appear, with a list of options. You'll want to sign out and then close the application. Power your device off by holding the sleep/wake button and selecting "Slide to power off". Allow the phone to rest for a moment and then power back on. Open that podcast application and re-enter your Apple ID and Password. Give it all a test.

     

    Note, that you may need to re-download past items that you made available for "Offline" listening. Heres a few other tips on using the Podcast app:
