Describe the bug A well maintained Podcast with a valid FeedUrl throws an error on loading time or when visiting the Podcasts detail page. The Podcast gets highlighted with the connection error icon.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to second menu item "Favorites"
  2. Click on the Podcast
  3. See error

Expected behavior Well maintained Podcast should load the episode list properly.

Looks like that some Podcasts don't like if the User-Agent option is set inside the request header.

Axios is setting the User-Agent by default to something like axios/1.6.0. Some servers seem to reject such request to prevent automated bots or scrapers. The server might return a 403 error.
