Valid Feed wrong date and missing episod

Hi there! I've uploaded my update feed but iTunes doesn't catch it.


This is my feed, the validator said it's correct.

http://www.riccidj.com/podcast/podcast.xml


This is my podcast page

http://itunes.apple.com/it/podcast/jacopo-riccis-podcast/id513921187?l=en


The problem is that the dates are incorrect, in fact in the feed the first episode was published on 1 April but on podcast page it says 31 March but in iTunes it's correct. The second episode is shown in the podcast page as uploaded 30 April when in the feed is published 1 May and in iTunes it doesn't show. Can you help me?

The date difference is normally caused by being in a different timezone from the feed (which gives the date and time in CEST). It happens quite a lot and I wouldn't worry about it.


More seriously, your feed is not readable and cannot be subscribed to. You have numerous instances of ampersands (&) which can mess up a feed as they indicate the beginning of a code sequence which is never completed.


Oddly enough both episodes appear in the Store OK but cannot be subscribed to: evidently the Store's software can cope with this but iTunes itself cannot.


The best solution is to go through the feed changing every ampersand to the word 'and'.


Incidentally your category - 'music' - should have a capital M - 'Music' - to be correct.
