Rejected Podcast Now What?

I got my podcast rejected... Even though I am not sure why.. So Here is the feed.

http://www.gaijintokyo.com/itunes/feed.xml

Hoping someone can help find out whats wrong with it.

Also, where do I go from here? How can I get it to show up in the Podcast Directory? Do I have to re submit it? And If I do, itunes now blocked my feed from being reused, and since it is not listed, how can I remove it?

Thanks for taking the time to read... Hope my frustration didn't reach this post =)!

Looking at your website, I imagine that your catchphrase "share music, videos, podcasts" set off alarm bells at Apple HQ that you were dealing with pirated material (the first two more than the last one).

ps. sorry to sound so PC but "gaijin" is not a very respectable term nowadays. Most foreigners here in Japan (including myself) now bristle at being called "gaijin."

Thanks. It worked.

Here is what I did for those of you in the same boat.

I started a new wordpress blog and installed the podcasting plug-in. I uploaded the latest episode and burned the feed with feedburner and submitted the feed to itunes. I was then approved within 24 hours. Then I went to feedburner and changed the source of my newly approved feed so it would include all my episodes and the proper website. I then pinged itunes and now its good to go.

Although this works, its crazy to have to do it. Hopefully someone at Apple can fix this.

Thanks again for the help.
