What happened?

When I added this feed https://rss.libsyn.com/shows/108587/destinations/590891.xml the podcast was added to audiobookshelf, but it does not show up in my library. If I try to add it again it says "Podcast already exists". When I search for it it also shows as added. A folder for the podcast is also added.
