If you mean you never get a result either way, it just keeps on with the 'circling' icon, this is an ongoing problelm at Apple's end. You could try again later. If you still can't validate, contact Podcasts Support. Go to https://itunespartner.apple.com/en/podcasts/overview and click the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of the page.

Thanks Roger. It will stop spinning but will say validating in blue. I can click on it again but it will spin for a minute or two. It never gets validated and so I can’t submit. I had buzzsprout look at my info to see if I’m missing anything. They said it looks good. I’ve been trying since Friday. Today is Sunday. I’ve emailed podcast support three times with no reply besides the “we got your message” reply. I created a new Apple id, different from the one on my phone. I’m doing this submission on my pc desktop with the new Apple ID and my phone remains my original id. Could that be the issue? Thanks for any insight.

I found a “podcast validator” website. I got an error for the question, is it xml? Would that be a buzzsprout thing? I’ve already sent them a message but looking for an opinion.

also saw that submitting a podcast too many times a not allowed. ??? Is that it?

thanks

Your feed appears to be OK (the W3C validator OKs it apart from a couple of minor points which aren't significant). There is evidently an ongoing problem at Apple's end - I've been unable to check validation for a week now, and many people have posted about this. There isn't really anything you can do until Apple sort this out.
