I can't see anything wrong with your feed. The W3C validator doesn't show up anything to be bothered about, and it can be subscribed to manuallly in Apple Podcasts. I can't check it in Podcasts Connect as I used to be able to do because it would become attached to my account as a draft (unless the fact that you've tried blocks it completely) as a result of the fecent changes.


It might be a glitch at Apple's end - it wouldn't be the first time. I can only suggest leaving it for a bit and trying again, and if it doesn't work contact Support: https://itunespartner.apple.com/contact/?content_type=podcasts
