Podcast Rejected due to "Elements that inhibit a good user experience"

My podcast has been rejected by Apple twice now due the podcast containing "Elements that inhibit a good user experience." I have followed Apple's best practice guidelines to ensure the feed has been formatted correctly including correct Ep. titles and descriptions etc... The podcast has been accepted onto Spotify and Tune-in so it can't be anything major that needs correcting, can anybody tell me if i am missing something or where i am going wrong?


Thanks

All I can tell you is that the feed appears to be technhically OK. I've no idea what this gnomic error message is supposed to mean, and I can only suggest you contact Podcasts Support. Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.

One thing which did occur to me is that your top episode in the feed (no. 7), which is the one they are most likely to check, has a fairly extended recommendation near the beginning for a car dealership. Apple do allow advertising* but they also do say that podcasts can be rejected for 'spam or irrelevant content'. So I don't know whether this is the issue. You may want to think about whether you want this section, or whether you want to move it to a lot later in the episode.
