I have problem with my store function in Laravel 9 - php

Question

basically every time I submit the form, the page refresh, and no items are stored in the DB. Here's the code.
PodcastController
public function store(Request $request) {
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required',
'description' => 'required',
'image' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,webp|max:2048',
'audio' => 'audio|mimes:audio/mpeg',
'category' => 'required',
]);
if ($request->image) {
$imageName = uniqid() . '.' . $request->image->extension();
$request->image->move(public_path('podcast/images'), $imageName);
}
if ($request->audio) {
$audioName = uniqid() . '.' . $request->audio->extension();
$request->audio->move(public_path('podcast/audios'), $audioName);
}
Podcast::create([
'title' => $request->title,
'description' => $request->description,
'image' => $imageName,
'audio' => $audioName,
'category' => $request->category,
]);
return redirect()->route('podcast.list')->with('Success', 'Podcast Created!');
}
Route
Route::resource(
'podcasts',
App\Http\Controllers\PodcastController::class
);
create.blade.php
#extends('layouts.app')
#section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="col-md-6">
<form action="{{ route('podcasts.store') }}" method="POST" enctype=multipart/form-data>
#csrf
<input class="form-control" type="text" name="title" placeholder="title">
<input class="form-control mt-4" type="textarea" name="description" placeholder="description">
<select name="category" class="form-control mt-4">
<option value="select" disabled>Are you a Creator or a User?</option>
<option value="news">News</option>
<option value="music">Music</option>
</select>
<label for="image" class="mt-3">Image</label>
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="image" name="image">
<label for="audio" class="mt-3">Audio</label>
<input type="file" class="form-control" id="video" name="audio">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary mt-3">Submit</button>
</form>
</div>
</div>
#endsection
The page keep refreshing everytime I run submit. I don't know where is the problem.

You catching a failure while validating. After catching these validate errors, you should develop your code what to do.
https://laravel.com/api/9.x/Illuminate/Validation/ValidationException.html
try {
$request->validate([
'title' => 'required',
'description' => 'required',
'image' => 'image|mimes:jpeg,png,jpg,webp|max:2048',
'audio' => 'audio|mimes:audio/mpeg',
'category' => 'required',
]);
} catch (\Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException $e) {
// do something...
dd($e->errors());
}
