Validating RSS Feed

Perhaps someone can help.

I have made a change to the title of my podcast.

The RSS Feed is: http://feeds.soundcloud.com/users/soundcloud:users:493640118/sounds.rss

I have 4 podcasts on iTunes, so I know the RSS feed is valid, but when I go to validate the podcast in "Podcasts Connect", I get a message saying the feed cannot be "parsed", so I cannot get into the back end to make changes directly on iTunes.

Also, when I search for my podcast on iTunes I cannot find it anywhere. Why is this the case even though I have posted 4 of them already?

Please advise.

The URL you give brings up this 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 'https://soundcloud.com/swishbros'. RSS Readers and Podcasting apps will be redirected automatically.'

The URL given there is a blank page containing only the number '1'. Without knowing the title of your podcast or the URL of your Store page I can't comment any further, except to say that you need to take this up with SoundCloud.

Searching on your title in the Store produces no result, so your podcast may have been removed - with the feed not working this isn't surprising.

I can't advise on SoundCloud, and I've no idea what causes this mysterious 'redirected' message. their Feeds normally work OK, and all I can advise is you look round their settings and see if you can find a way to restore the feed.

The title of my podcast is "The Swish Podcast with Daniel Schmahl" and can be found on SoundCloud.

I have attempted to reach out to SoundCloud but there isn't a great way to get a hold of them. Is there a way to develop a new RSS URL without creating an entirely new SoundCloud page?
