Critical Role 2 podcast not loading?

October 6, 2020 4:37 AM

Help! I can't get more than the first episode of Critical Role Campaign 2 podcast to load in my podcast app.

I use the Pocket Casts app.
It lists two feeds for the CR 2 podcasts. One feed includes mostly campaign 1, but has links to the first few episodes of CR2, but only the first episode downloads. Episodes 2,3 and 4 give me a "download failed" error message.
The other feed seems to start at episode 20. I haven't tried downloading it.
I can find the episodes online, so I can listen to them in my browser or download them as separate mp3s but the usability of listening like that is not ideal. I'd like to listen in my podcast app, where I can easily pause and start again without losing my place.
I've tried contacting Critical Role on various places in social media as well as by email and haven't received a response. Any ideas how I can fix this?

I think this has to do with the fact that the feed that contained the first half of the 2nd campaign episodes was run by Geek and Sundry, and that feed has been deactivated for unknown reasons. There's been speculation that podcast rights for those episodes would revert to Critical Role but nothing has been heard officially. It's been like this for awhile.

(If all of the above is out of date, please feel free to correct me.)

Response by poster: Hey! I did a bit more digging and it looks like those episodes are available here http://critrole.nerdistind.libsynpro.com/rss
