“This episode is temporarily unavailable” error on podcast

I am getting a “This episode is temporarily unavailable” error on my podcast.

The first episode worked fine. The second episode was getting this error.

I deleted the podcasts from soundcloud, reinstalled and re-set up everything and now they are both giving that error.

The iTunes url is

https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1305361627

the rss feed is

http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:127929545/sounds.rss

Working just fine on my soundcloud page https://soundcloud.com/dianne-bondy

I ran it through an rss feed validator and the only issue was the image title wasn’t the same as the channel title. I am trying to fix that now, but I don’t think that is the cause of my bigger problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

I’ve gotten this error occasionally over the years & worked around it. Now, I’m getting the error message constantly for a multitude of podcasts, and It seems unresolvable, (whereas previously, if I waited for a few days and continued trying, episodes would eventually (randomly?) work. Now, I’ve been waiting months & trying repeatedly for months, and still they still won’t load. Frustrating! Especially when considering there are episodes of the same show just before and just after the episode with errors, that DO work. (?!)

That is a corruption in one or more episodes. Most Show producers learn by OJT and skin their knees occasionally. Report it by Writing a Review listing the specific episode. Nearly every producer reads their reviews.
