> I believe it's breaking podcast feeds being served with WordPress.com, because iTunes doesn't support Let's Encrypt certificates.

Do you have an example? We have already implemented workarounds for iTunes. If they aren't working I would love to know the specifics so we can fix it.

Just the confirmation from Apple's podcaster support team that iTunes doesn't support sites which use Let's Encrypt. (I don't use WordPress.com myself.)

I've just posted a request for examples in popular podcasting groups, and I'll let you know when/if I get responses.

Can you elaborate just a smidge? Is WordPress.com, for example, not encrypting content when it's requested by iTunes? (Thanks!)

Yes, we have some targeted exceptions for incompatible clients.
