Hi guys, I just tried validating my RSS feed and it just kept saying “validating”. I ran it through Feed Validator and received the following info. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

W3C Feed Validation Service
Check the syntax of Atom or RSS feeds

Sorry
This feed does not validate.

line 56, column 1: Undefined channel element: itunes:type [help]

<itunes:type>episodic</itunes:type>
^
line 63, column 1: channel contains more than one image (2 occurrences) [help]

^
line 69, column 2: Comedy Interviews is not one of the predefined iTunes categories or sub-categories [help]

<itunes:category text=”Comedy Interviews”></itunes:category>
^
In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

line 2, column 0: Unable to validate namespace: http://www.rawvoice.com/rawvoiceRssModule/. See the RawVoice specification at http://www.rawvoice.com/services/tools-and-resources/rawvoice-rss-2-0-module-xmlns-namespace-rss2/ [help]

<rss version=”2.0″
line 2, column 0: Use of unknown namespace: http://www.google.com/schemas/play-podcasts/1.0 [help]

<rss version=”2.0″
line 52, column 102: Encode “&” and “<” in plain text using hexadecimal character references. [help]

<itunes:summary>They say everyone has one good story in them. And I reckon when you get talking with those individuals who have chosen to innovate, differentiate, and generally push the boundaries in their chosen field, you might find plenty more where that one came from. And more than that, they may even challenge your own thinking a bit. 
 
That’s the first reason why I started this podcast. 
 
The second is a pretty simple one. I love people. I love talking to them. Even more so, I love listening to them. My guests come from all walks of life. Some of you will have heard of, some you won’t. But the thing they all share is their passion and enthusiasm for life … whether that means living it on the edge, or finding their zen. 
 
This is what The Al Black Show is all about. Each episode I’ll be having a chat with personalities from the fields of music, hospitality, travel and lifestyle. 
 
Still here? Well to find out even more about the show read on. 
 
So why music, hospitality, travel and lifestyle? Let’s start with music. 
 
Since 1995 I’ve been heavily involved in the music industry. From radio and TV presenting, to writing for music publications, these days you’ll find me playing house, nu-disco and other funky beats at venues all over Perth. I record many of these sets live, so feel free to check out my soundtrack on my Mixcloud page https://www.mixcloud.com/alblack/uploads/ 
 
I’ve also had a long association with hospitality, whether it’s promoting and hosting bars and nightclubs, to working with venues to improve their marketing and operations. 
 
Since my move to Western Australia I’ve spent a number of years working on the digital marketing and hospitality management solutions of some of WA’s top tourism brands, from the Margaret River Region in the south west to the tropical paradise that is Broome in the north. 
 
And lastly, lifestyle. I’m a big fan of the saying, “Do the crime. Do the time”. And what do I mean by that? Simply, if you’re going to be burning the candle at both ends with your music, hospitality and travel pursuits, then you need to do your best to look after yourself, so you can keep doing more of the other fun things.
