Hi David,

I see the that the podcast feed is live and updated properly in iTunes as of your May 1st episode. Seems like the redirect loop you were previously caught in is solved.

With respect to the image being blurry do you have a higher res version of the image? Even when I take out the “?fit=32%2C32<” suffix to the image it’s only 512x512px. This may be contributing to the fuzziness of the image.

With respect to the excerpts and podcast title, I would suppose the difficulty there is arising from the /category/ functionality you’re wanting to add to your podcast feed. Is it necessary to only be pulling podcast episodes from a certain post category in WordPress? Introducing this additional code in the plugin will bring in the potential of theme conflicts as well since your feed does some work around the category archive query. If you don’t need the /category/ filter I would remove it, redirect that feed to the original /feed/podcast feed and the excerpt and podcast title issue would be resolved.

Otherwise if you need to have the /category/ aspect to your feed then I would suggest making modifications to the feed as described here: https://www.seriouslysimplepodcasting.com/documentation/how-can-i-edit-the-content-of-the-rss-feed/

I’m also in NOLA. Anyone down for a few drinks and talkin some shop?
