"Can’t parse your feed. Invalid XML: Error on line 1: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed."

Hello! I was using wordpress and I recently changed my hosting to squarespace so this error in podcast connect just appeared. ("Can’t parse your feed. Invalid XML: Error on line 1: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed.")


This is my link : https://travelhund.blog/feed/podcast/


I hope someone can help me with this!


Best regards

That is not a feed, it's a web page. After some digging around I found an actual feed:


https://travelhund.blog/feed/podcast?format=RSS


It seems to be OK though as it's all on one line it's impossible to read. It does work when subscribed to in iTunes: however your top episode, no. 9, does not have any playable media and this causes Podcasts Connect to complain it can't download files - it checks only the top episode: so you need either to delete this episode or add a recording to it before submitting to Podcasts Connect.
