This isn't just a problem with The Hotspot, but for some reason there's always a delay getting the podcast via iTunes. It usually shows up around Thursday. Is there a reason for this?

It might have something to do with the way iTunes caches XML files. When we post the podcast, the same mechanism that updates the pages on our end also updates the feed that RSS users, including iTunes users, see. So there's no delay at all... iTunes even points at our servers, so it's not like there's a file on Apple's end that isn't getting updated.

Short answer: try closing iTunes and reopening it, then right-click our feed and hit update. That usually works right away when this happens to me.
