Inadvertently changed my podcast feed URL to a technically impossible URL

I need help either removing my podcast or updating the feed address. My podcast ID is 168571049.

I inadvertently changed my podcast feed URL to a technically impossible URL, i.e. http://www.morningstarministries.org/Group/Group.aspx?id=1000014038/podstar.rss

Since the feed URL is technically impossible I can't use the itunes:new-feed-url tag, or itunes:block to fix it. Apparently the "Report a Concern" -> "Remove my Podcast" only generates the user message to use the "itunes:block" tag and doesn't actually remove your feed from iTunes.

I'm in a catch-22. Without some kind of human intervention my "dead" podcast cannot be recovered or deleted. Is there an Apple moderator on this board that can help?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

We have the same problem. We have asked to remove the Podcast in the iTunes Store and wrote there in the field for reasons the right feed url, but the Podcast has not been updated yet. Creating a new Podcast is now impossible as the right feed url seems to be exist somewhere in the system. So you can try to change the url like we did and after that wait and hope, or you find a human at iTunes. If you find one, please give us a note...

I'm also having the same problem... Our feed was located on a server for a company that went out of buisness abruptly, leaving us no way to access our stream to use tags. If anyone comes up with a solution, please let me know at jgraves2@du.edu.
