Can't validate podcast feed

Hi! I'm having problems trying to validate my RSS feed at https://podcastsconnect.apple.com/my-podcasts/new-feed . When I do the test before submitting it works perfectly, both on my computer and on my phone. But when I try to validate the podcast, nothing is happening; the page is just loading and I get no error message or such to indicate what the problem is.

The first episode is here: https://soundcloud.com/filosofisk-podcast/1-60-ar-av-filosofi-med-lars-bergstrom

The RSS link is: https://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:952808839/sounds.rss

Thanks in advance!

I just checked your feed in Podcasts Connect and it said 'Prepared for submission', meaning it's OK. Give it another try: if it still doesn't work try clearing your browser's cache or using a different browser.

Update: now I came through to the submission screen and could actually click "Submit". I did click "Submit" and have been waiting for the screen to load for about 10 minutes or so. Seems a bit long but perhaps that's normal?

I can't get through to the validation now, it won't load. If you had submitted it successfully it would say it can't validate the feed as it's already been submitted: if you hadn't submitted it I should be able to validate it. It looks as if they are having some glitches. Leave it for a bit and try again. If it allows you to validate it, do so and siubmit it again. If it won't validate it because it's already been submitted then you know you're OK. Also when you submit it you should get an email acknowleding this. Then you have to wait for them to check it for content - this can take up to a couple of weeks.

Roger, thanks so much for the quick response. I have tried in both Safari and Chrome with cleared caches and still get the same result. Any other ideas?
