Spot check that the iTunes metadata tags are present in the feed at the collection (or channel) level, as well as at the item level. Each item should include metadata for enclosure and title; author and summary metadata is also desirable, when available. For an example of an iTunes U feed, see the iTunes U documentation for RSS feeds.

To check that the feed is valid, you can subscribe to it in iTunes. An example feed url is: https://kb.osu.edu/dspace/feed/rss_2.0/1811/45183
In iTunes, to subscribe to a media RSS podcast feed directly, go to Advanced-> Subscribe to Podcast.

iTunes will then download the most recent episode/entry for that feed.

You can then double click the name of your feed to view all items referenced in that feed.
