PowerPress likes to control the /podcast slug. Try deactivating the plugin for a few minutes (it’s OK, settings are saved in your database) and then see if the page at /podcast begins working normally. If it does, try reactivating the plugin and see what happens.
If you have a tag or category titled “podcast”, it conflicts with the default “podcast” feed. This page explains the situation as well as explains the option in PowerPress to allow for both a page/tag/category and the podcast feed. https://create.blubrry.com/resources/powerpress/advanced-tools-and-options/disabling-powerpress/ (more a reference for anyone reading this thread than specifically for @cuceco)
You have the option “Match Feed to Page/Category” configured correctly to allow both the feed and page to exist. It may be WordPress 4.6+ made a change that no longer allows this to work. I am looking into this now.
With PowerPress enabled, try going to WordPress settings > Permalinks page. switch your permalink structure temporary to something else, click save then switch it back and click save again. This rebuilds the permalink structure for your WordPress site. If you have a caching plugin I woudl disable it during this process and once you have the problem solved, re-enable it and immediately clear it so the caching plugin can use the latest permalink structure.
