Thank you for your inquiry.
Some podcasts are already supported (Episode), but they are still incomplete, so we will add additional features.

You can get the stream by writing the following.

from librespot.audio.decoders import AudioQuality, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality
from librespot.metadata import EpisodeId

# e.g. NHK Radio News (https://open.spotify.com/episode/2KAW1GCHpOsxPBuZ0v59S4) 
episode_id = EpisodeId.from_base62("2KAW1GCHpOsxPBuZ0v59S4")
stream = session.content_feeder().load(episode_id, VorbisOnlyAudioQuality(AudioQuality.VERY_HIGH), False, None)

The TrackId and EpisodeId have changed, but nothing else.

It was caused by a faulty keyword argument.
I've fixed it in the commit below, can you please try again?

It seems that the NoopAudioDecrypt class was not implemented.

It turns out that an unintended default value by Protobuf caused an unintended AudioFile to be selected.
This has been fixed in the following commit.

Ah I see! Turns out doing a api request about that episode before attempting to stream will return a 404 error so I can use that to check before trying to stream :)

Thanks for all the help as always!!
