Q: My podcast shows up twice and with different titles in the Podcast app

Hi everyone,

 

This is my first time posting anything on this forum so forgive me if it's in the wrong place. I've spent days looking for an answer to this question but haven't been able to find anything. I've attached a few photos at the end that show what I'm talking about.

 

Basically, my problem is that my podcast shows up twice on the Podcast App under My Podcasts. It shows up as its actual title 'Musings of a Mindful Mind with Ashley Fisher' and also as 'Podcast - Mindfully Ashley.' Mindfully Ashley is the title of my website. When someone is on mobile/their tablet and they click the link to my podcast that I have on my website, etc. It takes them to 'Podcast - Mindfully Ashley' on the Podcast App. Sometimes it looks like everything is fine and it just shows the actual show title, but other times it goes back and does this again.

 

Right now, for example, it is duplicated and every podcast episode is showing up in the podcast feed on the app twice. It also says that I'm not subscribed to 'Musings of a Mindful Mind with Ashley Fisher' and will not let anyone subscribe to it, people can only subscribe to 'Podcast - Mindfully Ashley.' But if you search for 'Podcast - Mindfully Ashley' on iTunes, nothing comes up. I am new to podcasting and am very confused by this. Everything looks normal from a computer, but does all this weird stuff on people's phones and tablets within the app.

Here is the link to my podcast RSS feed: http://www.mindfullyashley.com/feed/podcast/

 

And here is the link to the podcast on iTunes: https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/musings-of-a-mindful-mind/id1117750937?mt=2

 

This has been going on for a little over two weeks. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?

 

Thank you in advance!

    I don't have an iOS device so I can't check what the Podcasts app is up to. All I can tell you is that the feed, the iTunes Store, and subscribing in iTunes on a Mac all work as expected. I can't see why this odd behaviour should be happening - the text string 'Mindfully Ashley' exists nowhere in the feed. You say other people are experiencing this, so there's probably not much point for asking people to check it (though you could try by asking in the Podcasts for iOS forum) but I can't see anything that you can change in the feed. What happens if you sign in at http://podcastsconnect.apple.com - do you see the correct title there?

    On Podcasts Connect it shows the correct title. I will ask this question in the Podcast for iOS forum as well. Thank you for your response!
