When did this problem start? In December, the format was switched from mp3 to m4a, it switched back a forth since around 12/22 - I started having problems playing them on my BlackBerry Z10 smartphone around that time. They play on my wife's iPhone just fine. The format could be related to the problem, since I see a few other posts related to recent playback problems.
Sorry I don't have any answers for you - I wish I could help.

Dave,
Thanks for reaching out! After a significant period of serious evaluation, the DAB podcast has been changed to a different type of audio file that may be a part of the issue you're experiencing. The new format (M4A instead of MP3) allows the DAB to produce a higher quality audio file using a smaller file size, allowing the DAB to continue to reach those who have limited bandwidth or internet access.
There are a number of media players and podcast downloaders available on the Windows platform, with iTunes being one of the most widely used, but if you want the best experience, I encourage you to visit http://www.dabplayer.com to listen online.
