MacBook Air M1, Podcasts Bug?

My podcasts do not sync between my MacBook Air M1 and my iPhone 11 Pro Max. Furthermore, when I bring up the iOS Podcast App from my iPhone using Handoff and click on it on my Mac, I get an error message “Podcast not Available You are not following [some random date] on this device". I am signed in on the same iCloud account and all software is up to date. Everything else on iCloud seems to sync fine. Can anyone shed some light on this?
