"Can't download episodes from your feed" error message

Here is my feed: https://tandempodcasts-api.azurewebsites.net/rss/feed/dev-test-show

I keep getting "Can't download episodes from your feed" error message, but can't find out what's wrong

Castlevalidator shows a preview, I can play the audio etc:

"Can’t download episodes from your feed" despite passing validation and other podcast platforms I'm trying to set up an RSS feed for a podcast. I've got it populating correctly, it's passed validation through multiple validators, and it's been accepted on other platforms like Spotify and Stitcher. But in Podcasts Connect, I'm getting a "Can’t download episodes from your feed" error. I've searched previous questions and none of the problems (spaces in the filepath, redirects, etc) seem to apply to me. Can anyone help guide me on why the download isn't working?

Podcast Feed Not Updating Hello, I recently started my podcast Dungeon for Two and successfully submitted it to Apple Podcasts (and Spotify). You can find my rss feed at the following: http://dungeonfortwo.com/episodes/?format=rss The first two episodes went up without a hitch, and everything seemed in order. However, the third episode (named 002 - The Crew of the Raggedy Rickets), seems to not be updating in my feed. It has been greater than 48 hours since I uploaded the others, and as I said before, they went up just fine. I tried refreshing manually at my podcast feed, but to no effect. I don't have hardly any experience with this stuff, so I was hoping someone could help in this matter. If it makes a difference, I use Squarespace to host my podcast episodes, and they say they're partnered with Apple to make everything smooth. I filled out all the requisite forms on Squarespace, but maybe the rss feed is somehow messed up? Thank you for any assistance. Please help a beginner out :/

Your media file is at

https://tandempodcasts-api.azurewebsites.net/blob/download?id=441a1480-ba2f-4319-bd60-936af5e49171

The URL must end with the extension, .mp3.

Roger, thanks for prompt reply!

I am wondering whether I will need to change the way these files are being accessed, or it's a straightforward check which could be overcome by adding one more query parameter so that URL will be:

https://tandempodcasts-api.azurewebsites.net/blob/download?id=441a1480-ba2f-4319-bd60-936af5e49171&filename=fn441a1480.mp3 ?

Well, the link works: I don't know whether Podcasts Connect will accept it, just give it a try.
