    I assume you mean your Podcast feed, http://thehelpdeskpodcast.com/feed/podcast/ ?

    Here’s a better view of the error: http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fthehelpdeskpodcast.com%2Ffeed%2Fpodcast%2F

    Something is causing the XML file to redeclare itself mid-feed.

    Try deactivating all plugins. If that resolves the issue, reactivate each one individually until you find the cause.

    If that does not resolve the issue, try switching to the Twenty Fifteen theme to rule-out a theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).

    Thank you for your help. I switched to the theme you suggested: Twenty Fifteen and that did not fix the problem. I also deactivated all plug-ins and that did not help.
    I am really out of my element here and if you have any other suggestions I would be eternally grateful for your help.

    THanks

    Though I cannot be sure when this error occurred, it certainly did occur after I switched to a different theme (Iconic One Pro).

    Whatever you did seems to have fixed it, the feed is perfectly valid now.
