Todd and Mike discuss a new show from CNBC, iOS 13 has been released by Apple, and they have a handful of tech support suggestions.

Best Practices:
Make sure your subscribe sidebar widget is above the fold. When someone comes to your site on any device, this way they don’t have to scroll up or down to subscribe.

- When publishing a podcast episode, make sure you check that the file plays right after you publish. Press play or download just to make sure.
- Here’s a publishing checklist:
- Look at the post as a user would see it. (Good time to check for typos and such in the blog post as well)
- Publish the post
- Clear any site caching
- Hit play on the player. Does it play?
- Hit the download link. Does is either download?
- Check the RSS feed at CastFeedValidator.com
- Relax in the knowledge that my episode is out and inform your audience 🙂
- If only one app is having an issue, it’s most likely that app, and not your feed or your hosting company. Even if that app is Apple Podcasts.
