At some stage, you might need to change the podcast feed URL of your podcast listed in the iTunes directory. In order to do so, you’ll need to tell the iTunes podcast directory that a new feed URL is available by inserting a <itunes:new-feed-url /> tag into your XML structure. See the example below.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
<channel>
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.domain.com/?feed=podcast</itunes:new-feed-url>
</channel>
</rss>
<rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" version="2.0">
<channel>
<itunes:new-feed-url>http://www.domain.com/?feed=podcast</itunes:new-feed-url>
</channel>
</rss>
Once you have done this, the iTunes will react on your server’s 301 redirect request and immediately load the new feed URL, listing its items both inside the iTunes directory and the iTunes application of all your currently active podcast subscribers.

I recently set up a feed account with podbean.com. I sent it to itunes. My issue is when people click the website link in my podcast window it redirects them to the podbean.com. I want it to be sent to my website. Is there any way around this?

Hope this helps
To get the iTunes Podcast Website link to go to your website instead of your blog and you are self hosting your blog with WordPress, then you can do this

Go to wp-includes/ folder under wordpress and find feed-rss2.php and edit your desired URL between the tages
EXAMPLE:

After: http://www.ernestgambrell.org
Hope this helps!

What is there was a corruption or a typo and the current iTunes feed contains a syntax error in the URL? It cannot get the new, correct feed, since the old is not accessible.
Itunes does not seem to act when emailing them feedback.
Current itunes feed: http://innersites.com.com/feeds/F2F_RSS.xml
Correct, real current feed: http://innersites.com/feeds/F2F_RSS.xml
note the doubled “.com” in the feed iTunes has.
How can I get trhru to edit it or get an email to iTunes to get action? It would be better to start all over, I think, then have them have a feed that is now months out of date.

JAMES: Not sure if you ever resolved this, or not. I had the same problem in that I made a typo and then immediately pushed the update. I ended up reporting the thread, like the service where you say reporting for Explicit content, and then in my comments told them about the problem.
Hopefully, that will work for you too!
