Apple’s not able to process new podcast requests for iTunes for the time-being. Check out the message here. Once it goes away, apparently, that will mean the problem’s fixed.

UPDATE – Thursday July 5th – iTunes is still down for new submissions. This is rather surprising… I expected this to get fixed sooner rather than later. I suspect some people in Cupertino got their Independence Day holiday after all… or this problem is bigger than one would think.

UPDATE – Monday July 9th, 7 PM EDT – it looks like submissions are back up, but given the comment from this morning, it might be spotty.
