Apple Podcasts Feed Error Notification

I tried to upload a podcast with Buzzsprout but I got an email that says: “An error was encountered while trying to add your feed, [ https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/1731771.rss ]

Please correct the error and submit your feed again. For additional information, please consult the podcast FAQ at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/faq.html and technical specification at http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/techspecs.html.”

Someone can help me find what the problem is?

The only problem I can see with the feed is that the 'link' tag is empty - it should contain the URL of your associated web page.

However the URL of your episode's media is

https://www.buzzsprout.com/1731771/8130800-.mp3?blob_id=36644336

Although it works OK when subscribing in Apple Podcasts it's possible that Podcasts Connect doesn't like it because the URL doesn't end with the extension (.mp3) but has some scripting following it - that sort of thing can be asking for trouble but I can't confirm if that's the problem.

The fact that you got as far as getting an email suggests you were able to validate it in Podcasts Connect and I nwold have expected that matter to show up there. I can't check this because I can't get Podcasts Connect to complete a validation and haven't been able to for some days.

If you still can't get it accepted you could try contacting Podcasts Suppoty. Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.
