FeedFixer

FeedFixer is a web app (with optional Slack alerts) that continuously monitors podcast RSS feeds and platform ingestion health. It checks for spec violations, broken enclosure URLs, expired SSL certificates, redirect chains, missing tags, and sudden metadata changes that cause Apple/Spotify/YouTube Music to stop updating. When something breaks, it pinpoints the exact field and provides host-specific fixes (Libsyn, Buzzsprout, Captivate, Transistor, custom WordPress, etc.) plus a one-click “validate and recheck” workflow. It also tracks episode publish latency across major directories so teams can prove whether the issue is their host, their CDN, or the platform. This is not a growth toy; it’s operational insurance for publishers who can’t afford silent distribution failures. Pricing is per show with higher tiers for networks and agencies.
