Podcast Connects artwork verification failed

Hello all,

I recently started a podcast with my friend and we are trying to get our podcast into the Apple Podcast app, but we're running into issues. Every time I enter our RSS Feed into Podcast Connects we get the error message:

"Podcast artwork must be between 1400 x 1400 and 3000 x 3000 pixels, JPG or PNG, in RGB color space, and hosted on a server that allows HTTP head requests."

I know our artwork is between 1400x1400 and 3000x3000. I think it should be a square. It is a .jpg. I don't really know what else to do. We are using Podbean as our host site and I've attached our artwork so y'all can see and maybe help us out. Thanks!!

The URL in the 'itunes:image' tag isn't the one which you quoted. It is

https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/10522609/5pp_cover_new_8ofwy.jpg

This image fails on three counts: firstly, it's 3456 x 3553 px so oversized, second it's not square, and third the file size is iMB: it must be less than 500kB.

The image appears to be OK, but really I need to see the feed to get a better idea of what's going on. Please post its URL.
