  This is correct; the Spotify embedded player - which the foundation has mistakenly used here, uses a DRM technology called Widevine.

  There are other, more sensible, tools to use here: not least, the HTML5 "AUDIO" tag, rather than a proprietary embedded player!

  Will cover in Podnews in the next 24 hours.

  No. Click on the RSS link to get MP3s.

  Link is broken. Remove the trailing // to fix it. And the podcasts work for me - how can I check if they're using DRM?
