Privacy concerns in podcasting have a history of not only being addressed, but the industry has been pro-active about addressing those concerns as well. The IAB Tech Lab released a document about podcast privacy concerns and laid out how they plan to tackle the issue.
Please excuse our technical difficulties today; these things happen to everyone once in a while, even podcast companies.

Question of the Week
Question: What happens if I change the file name on a published episode?
Answer: A few things, but nothing terrible.
- You will have to re-upload and re-link the file in your post
- The apps and directories will just start playing the new file just as they played the old one.
- A new entry will be in your stats for the new file name.
