We've seen quite a number of instances of this, podcasts being labelled as a 'test' when they are plainly no such thing. The objection would arise when someone submits a feed with only a short episode which is just a trail and give no idea of what the podcast will be about (they need to check it for content to make sure you haven't broken any guidelines).


Your top episode runs some eight minutes and as it's in Thai I can't tell anything about it, but as there are four episodes I have no idea why they think it's a test.


All I can suggest is that you contact Podcasts Support and ask them what the problem is. Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.
