Gran Turismo Folgore: A Lucca Roadtrip

As this special episode pauses to consider elements of great design, it is important to not overcomplicate matters. Sometimes, all you need is four wheels and a beating heart. Monocle’s Italian odyssey concludes with a second roadtrip in another of Maserati’s powerful new all-electric sports cars: the Gran Turismo Folgore. Joining us for the ride are Maserati’s head of design, Klaus Busse, and food writer Luca Cesari. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I was busy loving the amazing podcasts, until this happened - Unable to Subscribe 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. Andrey

I downloaded one episode on my iPhone -- never subscribed -- and tried to delete the whole podcast from iTunes including the files once it synced, but it keeps appearing in iTunes and continues to download episodes!! Has this taken over my computer?!?! I've never had this problem with podcasts.
