If you can't download shows on the TWiT network since yesterday, it may be due to an ad-blocking VPN, DNS, or router, such as Eero Plus.To temporarily alleviate the problem, disable those ad-blocking features, or add this to your allow-list if you have such functionality: twit.cachefly.net(Ad/tracking-blockers completely break on podcast downloads. Podcast ads don't work the same way as scripts on web pages, and can't be blocked without blocking the audio downloads completely.)

@Penultimate @overcastfm I too have noticed this on more shows. Possibly a bigger ad network got blacklisted somewhere

@adam @Penultimate @overcastfm yup, everyone running a blocker like this needs to be aware of false positives and not blame the content providers.
