My podcast RSS URL has changed and now my feed isn't updating

My podcast "Mastering The Big Event" is an active podcast, I've recently made changes to the server and not my RSS feed isn't updating with iTunes.

This is the link to the Podcast show in itunes,

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/mastering-the-big-event/id898130484?mt=2

How do i update the URL so iTunes starts pulling the feed from the correct location and starts updating for my listeners. I have been able to add the RSS to my itunes account manually. When I try submitting the new RSS URL I get an error "The Feed Has Already Been Submitted".

iTunes is using the feed at http://s533667804.onlinehome.us/Mastering%20The%20Big%20Event/podcast/feed.xml . This has episodes up to July last year and then one for yesterday, which shows in the Store and when subscribing.

You can't just change the feed URL and expect the Store magically to know that you've done so: you have to tell it by adding a special tag to the original feedwhich will tell the Store and your subscribers to move to using the new feed. As you have access to the old feed you shouldn't have any trouble doing this. The exact method is described here:
