Hi there,

I have a new podcast that has been accepted by iTunes (I got the "Podcast Approved" notification e-mail) but it isn't showing up in the store. The message I get from them says "This product is not available in the Canadian store" when I try to find it.

The link they gave me for the podcast is: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/podcast/step-up!-with-paul-de-burger/id928899033

My feed info is: http://www.pauldeburgerpodcast.com/?feed=podcast

Apple support gave me a generic response when I asked them about it, saying to check it with with feedvalidator.org. When I go there it says my feed is valid.

So I am a bit confused. Anyone out there able to help with an idea or two? Thanks very much!
Cheers,
Paul

Your feed validates just fine. 

If you just got the email from them saying it's been accepted, give them a few more days to get it listed. It can take a while.

If it's been longer than a week or so, I would reply to the support email.  The first response from them is always a canned answer. The second time a human will look into it.

Fantastic - thanks, Mike. It's been about five days, so I will give it another few and then get in touch with them if doesn't show up in the store by then.

Thanks for your thoughts - much appreciated!

Cheers,
Paul
