so i've got an issue where no matter how I tag a podcast episode for one of my clients their show description always comes up as <p></p> on the itunes podcast app and entirely blank within itunes itself. Has anyone encountered this before or does anybody know of a solution?
Thanks in advance!

Are you copying/pasting the text for the description from an outside application such as Word? If so, either make the text Plain Text before copying it or type the description in directly. Copying from external apps sometimes carries over "hidden" markup code that breaks iTunes descriptions.
