Podcast Episode Not Publishing - Previous 15 episodes all uploaded with no problem

[Mark Appreneur]

I have over 15 podcast episodes, but my most recent episode won't publish to iTunes.  I published my podcast by verifying the Media URL on Wordpress and publishing the post.

It has been days and the podcast has not published.  I double-checked the Media link, made sure the file/link is public on my hosting, and updated the post.  Still nothing.

I also created a new WordPress post and published again.  Nothing.  

Why is my episode not published?  Please help!

Mark, 

There's actually a good chance that it is published.  The iTunes store can take 1-3 (? this is a guess) days to show that a new episode is there.

Assuming the episode is showing up in your RSS feed, there are a couple of ways to tell:

1.  If you're subscribed to the podcast, go to your own app and see if the episode is there.

2.  Are you on other platforms like Stitcher?  If the episode is there, then there's nothing wrong with your feed.  It will show up in iTunes eventually.  But, again, people who are already subscribed will already have the new episode.

Hope that helps.
