Podcast not updating in itunes

Hi there!

I have an issue recently that has come up with my podcast not updating on itunes for the last few months. I will list some information below that might help anyone nice enough to lend some insight! The last episode to update on itunes was posted in early March of 2013, and none have updated to itunes since. I have checked the feed and it updates there, so I don't believe it is the feed, but I am also not very handy when it comes to technology, so any input would be greatly appreciated!

-The podcast name is Nuclear Clown Radio

-The feed I have used thus far is http://feeds.feedburner.com/NCR

-I use Archive.org as a host for my episodes

Also, it seems that the available episodes have been, over time, being somehow deleted from itunes. There used to be FAR more episodes available when you click the "Show all" option, and now there are only about 5 or 6. It has me truly stumped, and if anyone could help, it would be much appreciated!

I thought maybe it was an Archive.org/itunes issue, but I have read online about others who use both in conjunction and don't have issues.

Hopefully I've supplied enough information. Thanks!

You've fallen over an issue which has caught a number of people. Your media files for the episodes since March have URLs beginning with https (secure connection) rather than http as the earlier ones do. https will not work in iTunes, and Blogger does not create 'enclosure' tags as a result. Consequently these episodes appears to have no playable media as far as iTunes is concerned and so it doesn't show them.

You need to change the URL to be http on these files and republish the feed, then they will show.

The Store goes through sticky patches sometimes - someone else was complaining of this yesterday - so it may just be that. As you haven't told me anything about your podcast I can't check that. If you would like me to do so could you please start your own thread (it's better to do this than tacking onto another one) and post the Store page URL and that of the feed.
