Empty RSS feed:
Although we are working on changing this process, at the moment our system can only accept RSS feeds containing at least one episode.
If your show is brand new, and doesn't contain at least one episode, please sign back into your Creators account after your first episode has aired, and re submit your RSS feeds. We would love to have you onboard!
Inaccessible RSS feed:
If you received this error, it means that our system cannot access your RSS feed, and and as a result, we were unable to pull any content in from your show.

Make sure your hosting definitions are not setup to block web crawlers. If they are, please configure your settings to allow us to access the feed and import your content.
Double check your RSS feed url and make sure it's spelled and formatted correctly
User added existing RSS feed:
If you receive this error, it means that your podcast RSS feed is already in our system.
