Podcast rejected but no email received

Hi

Recently I had my podcast rejected by Itunes; however, I never received an email about it being rejected. It submitted it two weeks ago with it being up the following week. I decided to check if I could search it on Itunes, only to find out it was no longer there.

Because I never received an email on the situation, I am unsure how to alleviate the problem and resubmit it..

The RSS Feed is

Your help is greatly appreciated

Two possible issue here.

Although you have correctly labelled the overall podcast and all the episodes as 'Explicit' the 'itunes:subtitle' and 'itunes:summary' tags for episode contain a 'four-letter word' (beginning with s) and there may be others: all the descriptions may be verging on problematic. You are not allowed strong or sexual language in these tags, even if the 'itunes:explicit' tags are set to 'yes'.

The other issue is, though I haven't listened to any of it, your overall description implies that you have included copyright music recordings to which you do not have the rights. This is a breach of copyright and is sufficient to get you removed.
