Q: Podcasts Connect can't read your feed

I've been running a podcast for about a month now, and have uploaded 4 episodes without any real problems. However, after uploading the latest episode to Podcasts.com, it won't appear in iTunes. When I went to Podcasts Connect, it says my podcast has an error: "Can’t read your feed. Bad http result code: 503". As far as I'm aware, the RSS feed hasn't changed, so I'm just wondering what has happened here. I'm not particularly savvy with much of this, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

 

Here's the RSS feed, and the link to the podcast on podcasts.com:

    On trying to access your feed in FireFox (my default RSS reader) I get a page saying 'Checking your browser before accessing Podcasts.com' and saying it will redirect in 5 seconds. On trying to subscribe in iTunes I get the error that it's unavailable. You will need to take this up with Podcasts.com - obviously the 5 second delay means that iTunes and Podcasts Connect are reading this message and not the feed.
