24 hours later, still no new episode

Where you have to unsubscribe - delete - and resubscribe - usually means a podcast changed from one podcast host to another and you have a new RSS feed URL.

Did you currently move from one host to another and NOT put in a redirect from your original RSS feed to the new feed?

If so did you just go into Apple Podcasts connect and update the feed there? Again that is typical if you did not put in a redirect and just updated in Apple Podcasts connect.

The redirect from the original feed to the new feed - is very important.

I see it in Apple Podcasts (Mac):

and when subscribing

Incidentally, though it hasn't mattered in this case, when you have a query you should post your feed URL as well as that of your Apple Podcasts page. Unlike iTunes, Podcasts doesn't provide a method of detecting the feed URL of a podcast, thus removing a useful diagnostic tool.

I'm now seeing the latest two episodes both in the Apple Podcasts home page and when subscribing:

If you are using a version of iTunes I can't check that, since I'm on Catalina, nor the iOS Podcasts app; but I would have expected them to behave in the same way. The only explanation would be if the individual iTunes/Podcasts apps aren't refreshing automatically as they should but I don't know why this would be. There's evidently nothing wrong with the feed (I checked with a couple of validators). As you are with Anchor you could try approaching them.

I can only report on what I saw: but the Podcasts app is in my opinion a confusing mess and I wish I would have stuck with iTunes (I've recently moved to a new Mac with Catalina). They may be looking in the wrong place. You have a 'series' but the latest episode isn't included in it - I had to scratch around a little to find your episode. You might want either to include the episode in a series or scrap the series idea altogether. Incidentally I don't know wheter the iOS pPodcasts app behaves the same, it's not something I can check.

Hi Rob,

I am having the same problem. New episodes show up in the store but not in my home screen feed where I am a subscriber. Multiple refreshes have not solved the problem. I did change hosts recently but the I did a re-direct from the host. And in podcasts connect the updated rss is there.

It's the other way round. Your last two episodes show when subscribing but not in the Apple Podcasts/iTunes Store page. This isn't surprising as they were posted very recently, one about eight hours ago and othge other about two hours ago. It can take up to two days for new episodes to appear in the Store: you can't expect them to appear instantly,

Thank you for your response. And I'm glad it's working correctly for you. However, for me and at least one other person who I know listens, it is not in fact the opposite of what I said. It is exactly what I said.

They do not show up in a subscribed feed but do show up when searching for the podcast in the store. One thing that has helped is if I unsubscribe, delete the podcast from my library and then re-subscribe. But it only fixes it temporarily. A few days later the same thing will start happening. They will not even appear as available in my library but if I search the podcast in the store they are there.
