Can’t Play Shows
I time shift my playing of podcasts, all of my subscribed show play oldest to newest based on release date. Recently NPR shows have been marked “This Show in Unavailable” when I play it thru CarPlay. It still will play thru my old school wheel iPod but not thru any recent Apple Product. While I enjoy this show, I can’t when it’s unplayable. That’s the reason for my 2 star review, if I can’t listen to it it’s not a good show.
