Any idea what I’m missing from my XML to make AntennaPod see the episodes? The basic podcast shows up, but there are no episodes listed.

You can use something like https://www.castfeedvalidator.com/ to check what is wrong with your feed

I popped it into github so it’s available for that validator and ran it through:

If you click Show More, it also doesn’t show any episodes, but it doesn’t say why.

Ah, you closed the channel tag before the first item. It should be closed in the very end of the file

That was it; thank you so much!!
