I’m getting a lot of tweets and emails saying the same thing<\/a>: the latest episode of (some podcast I’m involved with) hasn’t shown up in Apple Podcasts.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, right now my only answer is to say, “It’s displaying properly in every other podcast app around, so if you’ve ever thought of using Overcast or Castro or Pocket Casts or any other alternative podcast app, now might be a good time to try.”<\/p>\n

This is an issue on Apple’s side. Apple is aware of it and presumably is working on a fix.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n

I’m guessing the new Apple Podcasts now centralizes (& delays) refreshes of feeds, which is kinda frustrating if you want to listen to things the moment they are released. No amount of manual refreshing will convince Apple to reload the feed on the server<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Apple recently overhauled the Podcasts app for the gazillionth time in iOS 14.5, iPadOS 14.5, and macOS 11.3 Big Sur, but unfortunately, it appears that Podcasts is still a hot mess.<\/p>\n

[…]<\/p>\n

I immediately noticed that I was already suffering from one of the complaints: Podcasts resetting your download settings and downloading every episode of every podcast you subscribe to or that has even a single episode in your library.<\/p>\n

We’ve had Apple’s Podcasts app available on various platforms for nearly nine years now, but it has never been very good. After that amount of time, it’s hard to imagine that Apple will ever make it more than a lowest-common-denominator app for those who don’t know to find a better alternative in the App Store.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Unfortunately, users may not have much choice if Apple Podcasts Susbcriptions means that exclusive content ends up there.<\/p>\n\n
