My RSS feed into iTunes has been working perfectly; however, my latest episode did not sync with the rest of them -- it's on the store, just not with the others and can't figure out why...
You can see the first 10 AND you can see the 11th if you search for it by itself, but the 11th is not showing up with the first 10.
Any ideas why?
The feed is valid and has worked every day until now.
Thanks!
I should be delighted to try to find out what the problem is, if I can - but unless you would like to post the URLs of your Store page and your feed there's really no comment I can possibly make.
An excellent point!

As you will see, there are 10 listed there.
The 11th (Kyra Bobinet) can be searched for in iTunes and stands alone, separate from these 10.
Thanks!
There's nothing unusual here. The episode was only posted today, so it's a bit soon to expect to see it in the Store.
When you add a new episode to your feed and upload it, it appears immediately for subscribers because their iTunes application reads the feed directly and the Store is not involved.
However because of the huge number of podcasts in the Store (thousands) the Store caches the feed and checks it for updates periodically. For this reason it usually takes 1-2 days for new episodes to appear in the Store: sometimes it can be less, and occasionally the whole process seems to get stuck and it can take several days.
As it appear when subscribing you can expect the Store to show it in a day or two.
Thank you for the reply!!
Ok, I will look out for it to appear in the list with the rest of the episodes in the next couple days. The other 10 episodes all went directly there so it just surprised me. It also makes it more difficult to point others to the particular episode...any ideas there?
Thanks again, I appreciate your input.
You could point them to your web page - http://www.thehealthcrossroad.com/podcasts/ - where the latest episode is the first in the display. The best thing is to encourage people to subscribe in iTunes: that way they will get the latest episode downloaded automatically as soon as it appears and they run iTunes.
Great, thanks! Will do that...
Again, appreciate the input.
