If proven that the content infringes on the owner’s right, Spotify takes it down from its library. Another reason why some podcasts episodes are no longer available because the podcast host has a limit imposed. Often found on free accounts, these hosts impose a time limit that your podcast will be up on the web.

This means that your podcast feed is empty because you haven't uploaded an episode to your podcast host. Until you do, Spotify won't be able to find any episodes and will reject your show's RSS feed. After you upload the first episode, you can then resubmit your podcast's RSS feed here, and you should be good to go.
