My Question or Issue

My Amazon Echos all play music from Spotify just fine, however if I ask them to play a podcast the Echo will announce the title and date of the podcast (ie, it has found the podcast) but then nothing will play, ie, I just hear silence. Specifically today I asked it to play More or Less. I have seen several old posts saying that Alexa can't play Spotify podcasts, however Alexa should be able to play podcasts in the UK since Dec 2020.
