I submitted my podcast (Speaking with Joy) on iTunes and it was approved. For a while, the first episode showed up, but not the podcast homepage. I figured it would just take a bit to load (the message says up to 48 hours). It's now been three days and both the episode and the homepage have disappeared, and when I search it a message comes up that says "not available in the U.S."
Which is ironic since I'm in the UK.
Advice? What have I done wrong?
You've successfully updated the tags. I should go to http://podcastsconnect.apple.com , signing in if necessary, select your podcast and then click 'Refresh feed' - I don't know whether this will prove necessary but you might as well. It may well take a couple of days before the Store shows your podcast again.
Ugh. Okay. Thank you. Further question: When I did this last time I immediately got an email confirming that I had validated it and would get an email when it was confirmed... no such email this time. Have I done something wrong?
Thank you for your help.
You have to do it in Podbean.
I can't tell you anything unless you care to post the URL of your feed and the URL you were given for your iTunes Store page.
You have the 'itunes:block' tag set to 'yes' both for the overall podcast and for the episode, hence the removal from the Store. You need, obviously enough, to change this to 'no' in both cases.
Okay. How do I do that? Is it through itunes? Or podbean?
Thanks for your help, Roger. I just opened podcast connect and it says the status of my podcast is deleted... I have no idea why! What should I do? Should I re-submit it?
Yes, re-submit it.
