podcast plays in itunes browser / not in itunes store

My podcast will play on my website (and the file streams in the browser, it does not ask you to download).


The podcast plays in the iTunes browser store


but it will not play from the actual store (it just spins and spins). You can download it/subscribe in the actual store, and play it back, but you cannot listen.

How can I get people to playback my podcast in the store just by hitting 'play'? Why is it delaying? It downloads just fine.

MacBook, iOS 8.3

I can confirm but not explain the behaviour you describe. The episode file appears to be OK - it works when subscribing and it plays in a browser as it should. It's hosted on Google Drive, and it's possible that in some way that is what is upsetting the Store. You could try hosting the files on an ordinary web server (make sure it handles byte range requests which is required by iPhones); other than that I can't offer any explanation.
