Google Podcasts stuck in login loop

If I try and subscribe to a podcast it asks me to sign in but then I'm in a loop that the account exists and can't proceed further.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling.
Reset the app, cleared the cache etc.
Restarted the phone.

I'm running Google pixel 2 XL with all system updates.

Is there anything I need to do in order to get this working?

I managed to figure this out. It looks like Google Podcasts requires access to Web & App activity which i prefer to have disabled. Enabling this would resolve but in my case i will look at alternatives
