Unsuccessful Anchor/WordPress connection

  Hi,
  Following the announcement of the Anchor.fm podcast and WordPress.com partnership I’ve made several attempts at connecting https://anchor.fm/radiotysnes to a dedicated, yet not started WordPress.com blog, resulting in a page reading ‘We’re sorry! We were unable to locate your podcast. Return to Anchor or continue with site creation’.

  I do, however, have several Anchor podcasts (and WordPress sites, both WordPress.com-hosted and self-hosted), and connecting a Norwegian-spoken podcast (in this case https://anchor.fm/gubber) appeared to be successful.

  Anchor support can’t seem to get their heads around the issue, but hopefully you can. In both cases I was logged on to my WordPresss account (as always).

  Any ideas would be much appreciated.

  Cheers,
  Jarle Petterson

  At the moment, Anchor is only allow connections to newly created Anchor accounts following the steps at https://anchor.fm/wordpressdotcom

  Thanks a million, macmanx!

  That explains a lot, as the podcast in question in nearly four years old, but there’s a chance the guys over at Anchor may be able to override the obstacle, now that we know the cause.

  Thanks again!
