Q: Submitted new podcast over a week ago and it's still not in iTunes

Hello,

I submitted my new podcast called Booze and Phasers over a week ago and it still isn't showing up. Is there a way to troubleshoot what the problem could be? My feed has been validated but there is a caution saying the artwork is a huge file. Should I size it down?  Could that be what's holding up the process?

 

thanks.

    It can take at least two weeks for a podcast to be accepted. Did you receive an email acknowledging the submission? I don't know whether the image size is an issue but it is far too large and you should get it down to around 500kB. JPG would be better - PNGs are inherently larger, and there's no point in having the file size this high.
