The provided link is not a valid Podcast.

(when I click on Subscribe on an Iphone)

Through the client I use (Podbox) it says “Not Available” below the podcast name. (everything is all right with the rest, tried restarting everything already)

I put the 1 star just so you hopefully notice sooner. Hopefully for all of us. 

Thank you for your vibes.
