  Podcasts from RNE (Spanish Public Radio) like this one here: Turbo 3 are not working properly.

  They show up correctly, but if you try playing or downloading an episode, I get a forbidden error message. Playing works just fine via media adress/browser or with other podcatchers (I tried Overcast and Apple Podcasts). No problem on Android.

  With RNE specifically, we are facing an issue with iOS devices as this podcast host is blocking our iOS app user agent from accessing the show.

  This is a known issue and our team is currently looking at options to resolve this.

  Did RNE remove the blocking or you found a workaround?

  No news from RNE, as far as I know.
  I did nothing, just tested and noticed it worked again.

  We made some changes in the app which should have helped. Please let us know if you have any more trouble with it.
