So please allow for up to 24 hours for the episode to show in your favourite podcast application. ### Apple Podcast says that my feed doesn’t support HTTP HEAD requests Most hosting providers support HTTP HEAD requests. If yours doesn’t please content your hosting provider as this is a server issue ### Why can’t I add new categories to Channels and Episodes?
