iTunes cannot download episodes from feed

Question

iTunes cannot download episodes from feed

Hi. I am having what seems to be a common issue with submitting an RSS feed to iTunes.

Feed validators say it's OK.

I have successfully submitted to Google Play.

AND when I go into iTunes and manually subscribe to the feed, it works perfectly!

I have tried running it through FeedBurner and that seems to get me further but still not 100%.

iTunes tells me my "raw" feed is unreadable.

and that my FeedBurner feed can't download episodes from and that the artwork is incorrect, Though I know it is sized properly.

My "raw" RSS feed is http://youthculturekilledmydog.com/yckmdwp/feed/podcast

My FeedBurner feed is https://feeds.feedburner.com/KetchupKitchenCatchups

Any insight would be much, MUCH appreciated.

Both feeds appear to be OK. The 'itunes:image' in the Feedburner feed is 3000 x 3000 and thus just within specification. The audio file appears to be OK, and both feeds can be subscribed to manually in iTunes. The original feed can be accessed using curl in Terminal without problems (sometimes there is a problem there even though it's OK elsewhere but this doesn't apply here).

So I can't see any reason for the rejection. It wouldn't be the first time that Podcasts Connect has had problems where there shouldn't be any, so I would suggest leaving it until after the weekend and trying again.
