"Can't parse your feed" error during validation

Hi, I get "can't parse your feed" error when I try to add the rss in podcastconnect.


Here is the rss link https://hetq.am/hy/rss/podcast


Interestingly, I checked in different validation services https://castfeedvalidator.com/ and https://podba.se/ and both said there were no problems.

And here is the link to the episode which is playable and everything works great https://hetq.am/hy/podcast/1

At the top of the feed you have this tag:


<itunes:new-feed-url>https://hetq.am/hy/podcasts</itunes:new-feed-url>


This redirect works only in iTunes and the iTunes store: the XML itself is valid, which is why the validators have passed it, but it is redirecting Podcasts Connect and iTunes to the URL you see in the tag, which is a web page and therefore not valid as a feed. You should remove this tag.
