ITunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?

Question

iTunes not displaying Talking Walking podcasts – how can I resolve this?
http://www.talkingwalking.net
Created on iWeb version 3.0.4
Mac OS X 10.6.8 (10K549)
Upgraded to Snow Leopard in August 2010 from Tiger.
Originally published 26 podcast episodes using IWeb to MobileMe and successfully had them in the iTunes store.  Then upgraded to Snow Leopard and had consistent problems publishing through iWeb, with messages appearing saying that the site hadn’t published on MobileMe or that the upload had timed out. 
This meant that I had to upload the whole site whenever I made a slight change or published a new episode. Some of the pages failed to completely load on the website, and none of the new episodes appeared in the iTunes store.  However, it was still possible to subscribe to the new episodes through the website Subscribe button.
Earlier this year, the original 26 episodes vanished from the ITunes store. 
At the end of June, I moved my server from MobileMe to Rage and subsequently the website publishes without any time out messages or pages not fully functioning.  This means that when I come to make updates or add a new episode, I can speedily upload changes. 
I have tried to resubmit the feed for the website to the iTunes store but Talking Walking still does not appear in the store (nor do any of the links to the individual podcasts from the website work), however, you can still subscribe to podcasts, but now only those uploaded since August 2010.
I have sent an e mail to iTunes explaining my dilemma but have had no reply.
Would welcome any suggestions as to how I can rectify this issue.  Next year is the fifth anniversary of Talking Walking podcasts and it would be nice to see them available again through the iTunes store.
With thanks, Andrew

Your feed is at http://www.talkingwalking.net/public/Talking_Walking/rss.xml . It contains episodes running from 23 February 2008 to 20 September 2012 and when you subscribe to this feed in the iTunes application all the episodes appear. The link on your web page is to this feed, so subscribing from the page works OK,
Searching for 'Talking Walking' in the iTunes Store produces a lot of result, none of them relevant or yours. This rather suggests that your podcast has been removed from the Store - if the feed wasn't functioning for an appreciable time this would be a normal reason for removal.
if your feed was originally on MobileMe and you have moved it to another server you have to tell the iTunes Store about this by adding a special tag to the feed - details here:

If you did not do this - and it's now too late - the Store will have been stuck looking for the non-existent old feed, which will very likely get your podcast removed.
You mention seeing the web page for the Store page - it's not possible to check this unless you post the URL.
If the podcast has been removed from the Store you will have to re-submit it as a new one. Unfortunately there is a bug in the automated part of the submissions process which will tell you the feed has already been submitted, even when it's been removed. In order to get round this you will have to change the title of the feed slghtly. You can always change it back later provided that doing so does not change the feed URL - I think this may well happen if you are using iWeb, so be cautious about this.
