iTunes Podcast Approval Time

The time it takes for a new podcast to be approved (which requires human intervention) is very variable and presumably depends on how many people have submitted recently. Two weeks seems to be about an average time, and you haven't reached that yet. When it's accepted you will get an email telling you so and giving you the URL of your iTunes Store page. Once a podcast has appeared in the Store it can take several days further before the artwork appears and the podcast can be found in the Search.

However your podcast is likely to be rejected with the message that they have difficulty playing your episode. This is because when you enter the URL of your top episode's media file in a browser it downloads instead of playing within the browser as it should. This means that although it works in the iTunes application, the Store can't play it within its own page.

You need to set each file not to download. eiznem has posted the process:

If you do that, at least with the top episode (the only one they check) to begin with, you might get it in before they get round to checking.

It's not absolutely certain it will be rejected for this but I've seen it happen a number of times.

If it is rejected, you should correct the matter then contact Support to reinstate it. Go to https://itunespodcasts.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/requests/new and click the disclosure triangle at the right of the 'Choose a topic' field - choose 'Re-activate feed' and proceed from there. Or you could just re-submit it but you will probably have to change the title slightly or you will be told it has already been submitted.
