* Update UA * Add Apple Podcast UA --------- Co-authored-by: Jason Qu <zhenyu.jason@gmail.com>

I wonder if it's worth adding a list of domains that behave this way rather than always pretending to be a (now outdated) version of Apple Podcasts |

Some podcasts return HTML content when accessing the RSS URL through a browser, but return XML content when accessed via a podcast app. This behavior is often controlled by detecting the User-Agent (UA) string. For example, the feed at https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1982525.rss behaves this way.
This PR updates the makeQuery function to set the User-Agent string to that of the Apple Podcast app, ensuring that the feed returns XML content when accessed by the podcast app.
