### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Regarding urls found on the page https://www.npr.org/series/tiny-desk-concerts/ ...
This url does not work with yt-dlp ( https://www.npr.org/2024/05/20/1250056328/tiny-desk-concert-bob-james ) nor do similar urls earlier in 2024, going by the date in the url.
As an example, this url does work ( https://www.npr.org/2024/05/24/g-s1-276/tiny-desk-concert-nelly-furtado ) as well as all the urls newer than this on the page all the way to the present.

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [X] If using API, add `'verbose': True` to `YoutubeDL` params instead
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
