Description
### Steps to reproduce the behavior
1. Insert a Podcast Block (Jetpack)
2. Paste a RSS audio feed (http://juliagomez.es/category/audio/ in my testing)
3. Try changing the number of podcast episodes to display
#### What I expected to happen
I expected it to change the number of episodes being listed, the way it does on Jetpack Sites:

#### What actually happened
Only the latest episode displays, regardless of the number of number in the block settings.

As I said before, this issue is **happening on simple sites only**.
Here are two examples:

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Podcast Block on a Simple site with the RSS feeds from the issue, then trace the block's handling of the number-of-items setting and its rendering path. Done means the selected number of podcast episodes is displayed instead of only the latest episode, while Jetpack Sites behavior remains unchanged.
