XML Error

I’ve put my podcast feed into posts instead of the podcast category, which seems to work for everything else. I’m getting ready to send to iTunes, but I checked the feed and am getting an XML error. Could it be due to the first podcast post being set to private? I don’t want it to syndicate until I’m ready.

Feed: https://degreesofseparationpodcast.com/feed/podcast

Thanks.
