Podcast Addict x509 Error
The Toronto Mike'd podcast feed is located at https://www.torontomike.com/podcast/rss/ and the SSL/TLS encryption in handled by Cloudflare.
I was recently made aware that some people subscribed via Podcast Addict were no longer getting new episodes. This is due to an x509 error.
I chatted with the Podcast Addict developer, a chap named Xavier, who says:
That last root (“AAA Certificate Services”) has been removed from several modern trust stores in 2025 (Mozilla/ca-certificates/certifi etc.). As a result, some platforms (including recent Android builds, OEM ROMs, and Linux distros that sync with those stores) will fail chain building with “Trust anchor for certification path not found.”
That points the finger directly at Cloudflare. My hope now is that Cloudflare issues a new certificate ahead of my December expiry date and that when the certificate renews it won't have the same "AAA" root.
If you're a Podcast Addict user who isn't getting new episodes of Toronto Mike'd, I'm both sorry and frustrated and currently at the mercy of a giant tech company.
As I type, Toronto Mike'd seems to be updating everywhere else, including Apple and Spotify.
