We have been working with Apple and other directories to help get more of our podcasters get accepted on those networks and make sure fewer of our podcasters get removed once on. With input from Apple and others we have implemented system that checks your podcast setting to ensure you have it filled out correctly before your RSS feed is available.
This includes things like: - Title - Tagline - Cover Art (Recommended 3000px square image) - Description - Category - Tags - Language We rolled this out yesterday (8/8). Regretfully the features that points out the specific item(s) you are missing in your setting is not working for some. We are working on the fix but in the meantime please review all items above to ensure you have them completed.

Considering that 95% of teens now own or at least have access to a smart phone, teachers who record their lessons as podcasts for their students to access anywhere and everywhere could have a special advantage in reaching their students effectively.
