Episode won't show in the podcast app

We’ve just launched the second episode of our podcast, but somehow the new episode only shows up on iTunes on computers and not on the podcast app on iPhones. What are we doing wrong? All of the producers have the same problem.

The information for the podcast is below:

Podcast Title: BrøndbyLyd

iTunes Store URL: https://itunes.apple.com/dk/podcast/br-ndbylyd/id1087759943?l=da&mt=2

RSS Feed URL: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:208501093/sounds.rss

I'm seeing two episodes for your podcast in the Podcasts app when I searched for it.

Thanks for trying! I've just tried updating in the app again, and it still doesn't show. Not even when I delete it from the app, cancel the subscription and then add it again. We changed the RSS-feed from the first too the second episode. Could that be the cause?

That doesn't make sense. The feed is at the URL you gave in your first post and it contains two episodes. These appear when subscribing and in the iTunes Store; I can't check the Podcasts app but I would expect it to be the same. If you are using some feed other than the one referenced above then that's going to be the source of the problem.

Frederik,

I'm unsure why your app only shows one episode. Perhaps restart the Podcasts app or your device?

iTunes, my iPhone and the iTunes Preview website all show two episodes.

Thanks for the reply guys! So far the complaint is only coming from us, who've produced the podcast, so it might be something with our devices. I've tried the suggestions above. It's still only showing on iTunes on my computer, not in the podcast app. But I'm relieved that it doesn't mean that others necessarily have the same problem.

To clarify about the RSS-feed, we changed from a free platform to Soundcloud Pro, because we exceeded the download limit on the free platform. But we took the old episode with us over on Soundcloud. Don't know if that changes anything.

Thanks for the help so far.
