I noticed a new background image on the Android podcast app this morning. I thought one of my podcasts changed their icon art. Nope, it’s a Logan Paul podcast. I’ve never listened to any of his stuff. I only heard about him when he challenged someone to an MMA fight I think?
I only listen to Behind the Bastards, The Dollop, and Prosecuting Donald Trump, plus occasionally My Brother My Brother and Me.
I figured maybe one of my kids had subscribed or I had hit a subscribe button on the home page. Well, in the app, when I unsubscribe it immediately re-subscribes. I saw where other users had the same problem and it went away after an hour. This was 11 hours ago. I pulled it up on the Web version of Google podcasts. It looks like it unsubscribes but if I refresh, I’m subscribed again.
Any ideas? Is there a way to block a podcast?
Edit: Problem still persists 24 hours later. I’m not allowed to turn on the explicit filter either. On the app or on the web interface. What’s a good android program that will record video of my screen and highlight taps? I want to record this. I think I still have OBS studio on my computer to show the web behavior.
I’m not an android user, but that’s pretty wild. Can you uninstall or delete the app and then install it again? If something is messed up on your end hopefully that would fix it. If it’s on their end there’s not much you can do. If you read about other having a similar issue then I sounds like it’s on their end though.
Glad you’re a MBMBAM fan though!
It behaves the same on their website, which doesn’t use the app at all. I think it’s back end. Which is why I was hoping there was a way to block it. Maybe I can turn on the explicit filter? I’ll have to resubscribe to most afterwards.
Edit: I’m not able to turn on the explicit filter. App or web.
Switch to Podcast Addict. Great app!
