Meaning one's that didn't agree with Russia's official stance, or ones claiming to be independent but still funded by Russia? Those would be very different things.

if only there would be some way to find out, like reading the article...

U.S. technology giant Apple has reportedly removed or hidden several Russian-language podcasts produced by independent journalists.

The news outlet Mediazona reported on November 14 that new episodes from the online radio station Ekho Moskvy and investigative outlet The Insider were no longer accessible inside Russia. A BBC Russian Service podcast also appeared to be affected.

So which ones are those two? I'm not familiar with them.

The first one. Can look up the name in the article to confirm....though "independent" implies not funded by the state, right?

Apple is continuing to operate in Russia and, in the process, are enforcing their censorship.
