Be careful using Buzzsprout. Our Community Radio station subscribes to a bunch of podcasts for syndicated programs. The ones distributed on Buzzsprout are delivered through Cloudflare, which has blocked our station from downloading their podcasts. Instead, we get an error page with a specific code we're supposed to send to the podcast producer, but none of them have any idea what to do about it.

For some, the producer has an alternate distributor, others we've just dropped.

@bobjonkman @james @neil Buzzsprout uses Cloudflare to temporarily block suspicious traffic that (among other things) may inflate podcast statistics. Something like a server for syndication without a proper user agent would be ripe.
