"Can’t parse your feed. Invalid XML: Error on line 1: The markup in the document preceding the root element must be well-formed."

What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Attempting to access the feed in FireFox (my default RSS reader) brings up the message:


'This RSS feed has been redirected, and SoundCloud cannot guarantee the safety of external links. If you would like to continue, you can navigate to 'http://www.theroproductions.com'. RSS Readers and Podcasting apps will be redirected automatically.'


Checking in http://feedvalidator.org produces a Squarespace feed which is valid but has no episodes. Downloading from the URL you provide produces a long document beginning with <!doctype html> and then an html page which is a Squarespace web page. Podcasts Connect is evidently trying to read either the error message or, more likely, the web page. I can't advise on how this redirect has arisen but obviously you need to get rid of it.
