Q: Podcast stopped updating on iTunes
I have six different podcasts on iTunes. They are all created using the Wordpress plugin Seriously Simple Podcasting (https://www.seriouslysimplepodcasting.com/). It allows me to create as many distinct podcasts as I want with distinct feeds. This issue is most feeds work flawlessly, but one has stopped updating.
For what it's worth, I use Podba.se (http://podba.se/validate/) to validate my feeds. All of the feeds validate correctly. The only issue is that the cover art file size could be smaller.
At podcastsconnect.apple.com, I have a podcast that has an issue.
http://www.am1700radio.com/feed/podcast/am1700-presents-the-all-star-roots-music -revue produces the error "no episodes exist in your feed". It stopped updating after Episode 13.
As you can see from the aforementioned link, there are 21 episodes. I tried changing the name of the podcast thinking that might get it to update again, but no luck. Thoughts? I was reluctant to start a new thread as there a lots and lots of similar issues, but they all seem to be unique in their own way. Thanks.

The iTunes Store page for your podcast is at
https://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/am1700-presents-all-star-roots/id1083726831? mt=2
This is using the feed at
http://www.am1700radio.com/feed/podcast/the-all-star-roots-music-revue
not the URL you quoted above, and this feed has no episodes. The Store is displaying a cached version of the feed at the time it last read it, but subscribing produces no episodes. The next time the Store checks the feed all the episodes will disappear.
So either you need to put the episodes into the feed the Store is using, or you need to redirect the Store to using the feed you quoted using the method outlined here: http://wilmut.uk/move
