Q: iTunes rejecting my validated feed

http://sexyuniquerestaurant.com/feed/podcast/

My feed is validated on all available online validating sites. Even iTunes says it's "Prepared for Submission."

But then I keep getting an email saying: "An error was encountered while trying to add your feed.Please correct the error and submit your feed again."

Can anyone look at my rss feed and tell me what is wrong?

    This is one of those odd URLs that diverts to a feed when you subscribe in iTunes but appears as a web page when you enter it in a browser. Probably it's confusing the Store. You need to ensure that it's served as a feed at all times, though I don't know how you would go about doing that.

    Greg,

     

    Your website's tagline includes an explicit word. Did you submit the podcast with that word in the description? If so, podcasts with explicit words are normally rejected.

    Change your podcast feed and podcast title, and resubmit. Then, change your title back to the original.

     

    If Apple removed a podcast for a concern type that does not allow you to resubmit the podcast, Podcasts Connect dims the podcast in the dashboard and you cannot delete the podcast. Instead you must fix the issue, change the RSS feed URL, and submit the podcast as a new podcast. https://help.apple.com/itc/podcasts_connect/#/itc8a10a0c56
