Best Practice: 3 steps to double-check your episode after you publish

  1. Press play. By that we mean ensure it’s playing correctly. Click play on the player and make sure you hear it start playing.
  2. Check your RSS feed. Go to castfeedvalidator.com and run a validation check.
  3. Relax in the knowledge that your show will go out as normal!

Blubrry Pro Tip – Pro team out for the rest of the year. 

Question(s) of the Week

Question: I have a really long interview that I recorded, it’s over 2 hours. Should I break it up into two episodes or should I just put it out full-length?

Answer:  In most cases, play the whole thing in one episode.  Maybe think of editing it down to less than 2 hours.  Make sure it’s not boring! But, do not break things up into 2 parts if you can help it.
