BeyondPod
I have been using it for years. It lets you stream or downloaded the podcast (in case you want to save data or will not have a solid connection).

Was it ExpressVPN?
But if I remember correctly, it doesn't have the best bang for the buck compared to other VPNs. It's reputation is pretty great (not perfect), however.
I recommend you do your research and don't go off radio specials. VPNs aren't terribly expensive, and you can find the right one for your needs.
but yeah, the three I've heard mostly good things about are ExpressVPN, PIA, and NordVPN
My grandmother has them and isn't impressed. I bought this one Amazon and I love it. They have great customer service and work with you to customize it the best way for you.

Looks like it is the 1st in a series. Only one published
My wife and I have had these for the past year and love it.
I use it when I'm on public wifi. I don't want the owner or other users of the network I'm on to watch my traffic. It's an encrypted tunnel to the internet, essentially.
I use another company so I have no opinion on ExpressVPN.
If you subscribe to the Podcast you can use the AnyPod skill and tell Alexa to play the podcast. Not good for the live show though!
