Thank you. I did all that and more, read and implemented suggested helps, and followed YouTube videos. None worked. Then stumbled on to the solution.
I am in Iraqi Kurdistan. Netflix offerings vary from country to country. Microsoft Edge comes up in Arabic even though my system language and Edge language is set at English (U.S.). Some YouTube videos say they are "unavailable in your country." In trying to access a website for a school in the US, the response was "Access denied. This request was blocked by our security service."
In Iraqi Kurdistan, telecommunications are very good and there are no restrictions on internet use.
To resolve all that, I use a VPN with a USA address. All is well, just as if I was in the US.
On my iPhone, I was wandering through settings and noticed the VPN. I removed it and now all is well with Apple podcasts. I mentioned all this in case it's helpful to others.
