Cannot Add links via <a> tag to itunes:summary/description field

Problem/Motivation

I want to add hyperlinks to my episodes notes but when I do with an <a> tag, that HTML gets converted to character entities, while a <br /> tag does not.
Here's an example from my RSS feed:

<itunes:summary><![CDATA[Discussion of topic.<br />
&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.example.com/learn-more123&quot;&gt;Learn More&lt;/a&gt;]]></itunes:summary>

The above doesn't display correctly in most podcast feeds.

When I look through the field configuration (Configure field: item > description, itunes:summary) in the view settings page, the formatter is "Plain text" and there's no "Rewrite Results" applied.

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
