Q: Podcast feed will not validate

The feed is fine everywhere I've checked it, including Terminal. There have been cases where it seems that a server doesn't react properly to requests from the iTunes Store even though it's fine in a browser. As it's in the Store and shows the episode of June 4th, the question is, when you next post an episode will it appear? If it does, then there's no need to take any notice of Podcasts Connect.

Wake Up,

Once you submit your podcast in Podcasts Connect, you do not need to re-validate it. Are you clicking the + and attempting to resubmit it? Do you have a screenshot?

It seems your podcast is actually: http://wakeupyourwhy.com/?feed=podcast

(I subscribed in iTunes, then right- click copied the podcast URL).

If your podcast isn't functioning, get in touch with the Podcasts Support team:

It probably doesn't matter, at least unless you ever need to do anything with Podcasts Connect, but as I say the test is whether your next episode goes into the Store OK (remember that it can take a couple of days).

That's been good luck: don't bank on it happening every time.
