Episode not uploading - "can't parse feed"

Hi - I have had a show for several years and had no issues. Now helping a theatre with theirs and have run into an issue I have not faced. Plus, don't have all the technical terms down, so could use some help.

I use Libsyn for the host and the current episode loads up to Overcast and other apps. But when I looked at PodcastsConnect, saw an error message with the whole show (it's called EarPlays - Theatre Artists Studio). Here it is:

Can’t parse your feed. Invalid XML: Error on line 50: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x19) was found in the element content of the document.

Any advice on what I need to do would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks, Roger. So, do you need my RSS feed URL? Sorry for the dumb question.

Here is the RSS feed URL: https://earplays.libsyn.com/rss

Please let me know if you need something different.

Appreciate your help and patience.

In your latest episode, the 'description' tag has the line

CAST: Shadow/Lamont Cranston: Tom Koelbel, Margo Lane: Susan Sindelar, Announcer: Walt Pedano, Warden: Michael Fleck, Dr. Evans: Jason Isaak, Dubrille: David Heap, Martan: Al Benneian, Corvet: Rick Davis, Maidservant/Dr. Evan's Butler: Judith Eisenberg, Cab Driver: Mark Gluckman, Intro: Chuck Sowder.

There is something wrong with the apostrophe in 'Dr. Evan's Butler' - make sure it's a straight typewriter type single quote - ' - not a smart quote or a curly quote or something odd.

I'd be happy to look at your feed and see if I can find the problem, but I can't do that unless you post the URL, now can I?
