Apple Podcasts has been a bit slow to update new episodes. It was 100% on their end. Nothing was wrong with the feed. Normal is 6-24 hours. Subscribers get it right away.
If your new episode doesn’t show on 1 of the many syndication points but does on others, chances are, that one app or directory is having an issue. As with Apple, Spotify was having an issue that seems to be solved now.
Episode images - We are getting a lot of questions about those. They only show in some directories. Oddly, not in Apple other than episode search in iTunes (the old desktop software) We will have a list of which apps show which type of episode image in the show notes. List of which platforms use episode images on Podcast Help Desk
Recorded live from two well-separated and socially distant podcast studios in Michigan; here’s Podcast Insider. Produced by the Blubrry Pro-Production team.
