podcast rejection
I'm having trouble getting a podcast approved.
Does anyone have any ideas why this would be rejected?

I can't really help you as this isn't a technical matter, but that of the actual content of your podcast. I listened to a few very brief clips of your top episode, and nothing suggested itself to me as objectionable. Apple list likely reasons for rejection here:

If you feel you are being treated unfairly you could try contacting Podcasts Support, but basically it's their decision. Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.

Podcasts Connect says your feed is 'prepared for submission', meaning it's OK, and on a quick check it seems to be fine. Was it submitted and then rejected at a later stage? The only problem I can see is that your media files force a download when accessed in a browser, instead of playing within it as they should: this might be a problem and you should try to correct this.
Thanks for the reply Roger. I did check this with TryCast and this is true for all their users and Cast users have tens of thousands of podcasts approved by Apple and available on Apple Podcasts, so doubt it is the reason?
Hi Roger,
Yes after a delay. We are getting a 'Failed Review' error with the message 'The show is not included in the Apple Podcasts directory due to it's irrelevant content or spam'.
Any ideas on what this could be would be much appreciated!
Thanks.
You haven't answered my question. Was your feed rejected immediately upon submission or after a delay of a few days? Was there any error message?
