Podcast not updating via RSS feed

I host my podcast on Libsyn and upload to Apple Podcasts via RSS feed. When I publish, it typically takes 30 -60 minutes for the podcast to appear.


However, my last podcast episode was released earlier today and is not appearing on Apple Podcasts, but is on every other platform.


My podcast is set to check the RSS feed daily - and the last update was a couple of hours ago.


Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

You can't expect a new episode to appear immediately: if it does, you've just been lucky. Apple Podcasts caches the feeds and visits them in some sort of rotation:L there are many thousands, and it can take two days or so before it gets round to you - it just depends where you are in the cycle when you post.


Your new episode appears when subscribing on a Mac (where the feed is read directly) so you can expect it to appear in Podcasts 'browse' in a day or so.
