Updated over a month ago

Apple Podcasts may show the following error when trying to subscribe to a podcast:

Unable to Follow: Podcast cannot be added because the server or feed cannot be found.

As a Hello Audio user, you can try the following steps to resolve the issue:

  • Change the feed's status from Archived to Available.

  • Ensure the listener is in the feed and not blocked from accessing the content.

    • Click on the feed and then "Listeners". Search for their email address and ensure their status is "Enabled".

  • Have at least one episode published in the feed.

    • Inside the feed, in the "Episodes" area, ensure there is at least one episode with a "Published" status.

  • Check that the tag restrictions for the episodes match the listener tags. To fix:

    • Add a tag to the listener receiving the error OR

    • Remove the tag requirements from the episode.

Try subscribing again after taking the above steps.

If you still receive the error, contact us at [email protected] and provide the feed link that results in the error.
