you could try to make sure your phone has the most current update & perhaps check with the podcast website to see if they have a work around.

sorry, even apps like UBER can't even access my account on a PC unless the PC has windows10.

my "workaround" was to buy an inexpensive (refurbished) laptop on amazon with windows 10 to transfer data from my phone and check app accounts.
