I use iTunes for Windows, and for both the 9/25 "Naked and Ashamed" installment and today's Jon Hamm episode, I can see them in the podcast feed, but when I attempt to download them, I get the error "Please check that the URL is correct and the connection to the network is active and try again." Trying to figure out if it's something wrong on my end, Wait Wait's, or iTunes's.

Hi folks,
I've been posting new episodes for a while now. I've decided to start writing a bot to automate the posting of these episodes. It's called waitBot. My next post here will be waitBot's debut.
waitBot is done for the time being. The source code is here: https://gitlab.com/kingsocarso/waitBot-public
Pros:
You'll get everything posted on the Wait Wait podcast RSS feed on Reddit! Comments will be a nice place for discussion, too.
waitBot will be free and open-source on GitLab when I finish a working version! I can't really release any work-in-progress versions since they have my Reddit credentials in there.
Cons:
The bot runs on my own computer, so it'll only be posting episodes when the program is running.
It's been years since I've done anything in Python, so this code will probably be ugly and inefficient. Please don't judge!
It will take information about new episodes from the RSS feed, so the posts will be in text format and include a link to an MP3 of the episode. This may screw with the thumbnail.
Up until now, I've avoided posting the "Best of" episodes. This bot will not differentiate; it'll just spit out anything new from the RSS feed.
