RSS & distribution
A valid feed and a discoverable show are related, but different, outcomes. This collection follows the release from its authoritative metadata to the listening destinations that matter to your audience.
How to use this reading path
Begin with the release checklist to understand identity, enclosure references, and public verification. Continue to the distribution guide to separate hosts, directories, and search interfaces. Keep a record of which system owns each change and how a correction reaches external listings. Do not confuse a submitted feed with an accepted or refreshed listing.
