Why should you use a podcast RSS feed validator?
All the information about your show from its name, artwork, tags, to the episode audio, is available to distribution platforms via your podcast's RSS feed. To make sure there are no errors in your show's feed so platforms can use the information to publish your show, you should periodically 'validate' the RSS feed.
Validating your RSS feed will highlight any errors that could keep your show from being accepted and displayed in podcast directories and apps.
