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.
