Shadow banned on Time In?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
For the last couple of weeks I've noticed that all the podcasts that I have saved to my favorites from conservative talk show hosts won't load. The new episodes show up on the episodes list but when I click on them I just get the spinning circle endlessly. All the other podcasts I click on load within a few seconds. Is tune in deliberately shadow banning conservatives now? Has anyone else noticed this with podcast on TuneIn not loading?
 
Well, I am having exactly the same issue with few podcasts on TuneIn. For example, Marketplace, Marketplace Minute and Science Friday - not exactly “conservative talk shows”. I can see them in my favorites, I can see the list of episodes (which is updating) but when I try to play the only thing I see is the spinning wheel. Tried to remove and re-add to favorites, play them outside of favorites - no luck.
No issues playing the same podcasts from TuneIn on another platform.
Wondering what is the value of opening a service call (I know, sad state of affairs)

I’m having the same issue. Super frustrating. I’m now using my phone for podcasts via Bluetooth which is simple a pain in the butt.

Since version 11, life on my M3 screen is a big mess. Still love my car, but they need to fix all these bugs/annoyances.

Don't you go spoiling a good conspiracy theory now :D

seriously though, similar issues here, don't use it often but recent reliability hasn't been stellar.
Pity they don't show up on the downdetector.com - that makes things much easier to track.

I have the same issue. If I try podcasts listed under "Progressive Talk" they load and play right away...100%. Almost all of those listed as "Conservative Talk" will only play podcasts from about a week ago or so. Never had this issue until recent upgrades. TuneIn plays all podcasts fine on my iPhone. I have tried it several times in my Model X with the same results...Conservative spins endlessly...Progressive loads and plays. Hate to think this is on purpose but its 100% lately.
 
I've been having issues on Tune-In for a few weeks also. For me are stations like 1940's radio and UK 1940's radio never load. Also station Z-93 (Puerto Rico) returns an error. These work on my phone browser but not on Tesla browser unless it's on Wifi.
