I publish my podcast on Blogspot (http://inutilidadeslinguisticas.blogspot.com).  I recently discovered that Feedburner and iTunes are only showing the 25 newest episodes.  So, for example, yesterday only episodes 4-29 were showing.  Tonight, when I published episode 30, episode 5 went missing both from Feedburner and iTunes!

I've been checking Blogger/Blogspot to see if there is anything that might indicate the feed is capped at 25 or something, but I can't find anything.  Any ideas?

Thanks!

Hello, I have a similar problem. But my .com is hosting a wordpress.com blog. I tried doing the same and added posts/default?max-results=3 at the end of the original feed that says ______.com/category/podcast-episodes/feed. Any ideas?

On itunes my podcast always have only last episode listed. I have this kind of problem, but only on itunes, on android apps all episodes are shown...

We had a similar problem once. that problem was hardcoded limits in the CMS we use for RSS Feeda and in Feedburner itself.

Make sure the original feed has no limitation. To remove the limitation in Feedburner you need to add this in the "original feed" field behind the URL:
?max-results=500


Hope this helps :)

Cheers

This will be more than we can produce in a lifetime so I doubt we will ever hit that size limit and if we do, we will move away from Feedburner as our RSS feed aggressor :)
