 * Hi,
 * I recently realized my feed stopped working in June but cannot find any reason
   for it not to work.
 * Feed is [http://www.fellowshipcrc.net/feed/podcast](http://www.fellowshipcrc.net/feed/podcast)
 * I checked castfeedvalidator.com and it says Unable to do basic feed validation…(
   [http://www.fellowshipcrc.net/feed/podcast](http://www.fellowshipcrc.net/feed/podcast))
 * I can view the posts and listen to the audio embedded in the posts but nothing
   gets sent to the feed.
 * Additionally I get the following error when using an app on my phone to find 
   the feed:
 * An error occurred:IO Error (too many follow-up requests:21)

 * Here is additional info from feedvalidator.org
 * Sorry
    This feed does not validate.

    ^ In addition, interoperability
   with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following
   recommendation.

 * Do you have any kind of plugins (or theme functionality) that might be creating
   that line 13 in your podcast feed? It seems like some kind of geo-rss related
   code. This is not a default attribute of the RSS feeds that SSP creates, so thinking
   that it’s something else with your site that is adding in that part of the code.
   A Theme/Plugin conflict test ought to show what’s causing that.

 * Looks like a plugin called Geo Mashup that put a google map location of the church
   is causing the issue since if I deactivate it the feed now validates.

 * Ok good deal. All set then? I’ll mark this as closed now but if you need anything
   else just let us know.

   could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

 * The only “show stopper” i see on your feed is that the image is not square. It
   has to be exactly square and between 1400x1400px and 3000x300px in size. Yours
   is currently 1404 × 1837 – once you fix that everything else should be fine.
 * Are you getting those warnings from feedvalidator.org? It’s a bit out dated at
   this point and I’d recommend podba.se as a great validator. or castfeedvalidator.

 * I just changed the image to be square so hopefully that issue is taken care of.
   I think for now I am set. Thanks.

 * Also I did check out those other feed validators but they but just said the feed
   was invalid. feedvalidator.org was the only one that gave specific info on why
   it wasn’t valid.
