We have an internal tool (brilliantly developed by Angelo!) that allows us to easily look up the feeds of iTunes Store listings. However, there is also a similar tool available here:
http://reganstarr.com/get-rss-feed-for-itunes-podcast
Just start typing the name of a podcast as it appears in the iTunes Store and it'll show you the feed being used in the iTunes Store.

Sure, I use the iTunes affiliate API to look it up.
Details here:
https://www.apple.com/itunes/affiliates/resources/documentation/itunes-store-web-service-search-api.html#lookup
Just have to convert the json. We wrote our own internal php code to make this process painless.

Contact the folks at Podtrac, just ask them to do a 301 redirect to the feed you want to use, they are pretty nice folks over there you shouldn't have any issues getting that fixed.

Thank you all so much... i was also able to find the url to the one last itunes podcast were having trouble with
https://itunes.apple.com/be/podcast/kg-in-the-lab/id303553825
Are you able to tell me if podtrac has taken over that feed too?
Thanks

That one's also using a Podtrac feed:

Wow,
So im stuck then.. these are the EXACT same feeds. somehow itunes is pointing them both there so a forward from that feed woudl not work because multiple feeds are going there. Wow all of this from one plugin install that only lasted an hour or less.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/off-the-hook/id980999319
Another example is above. even tho all of these have the right links to them in the blubrry feeds settings.. so asking them to redirect things wont help because somehow ITUNES got this all messed up.. right?

You're best bet at this point might be to contact iTunes Support and ask them to update the listings:

Thanks Shawn, I did that on that first feed last week. Have heard nothing back.. Itunes tends to take forever to respond but i might as well go ahead and submit the rest.
Thanks much
Darryl
