Publish once. Verify every important destination.

Prepare one approved source

Keep the show title, episode identity, artwork, notes, and media references consistent in the authoritative record. Name the system that generates the feed and the person who approves releases. If a website also stores episode text, document how it receives updates rather than relying on informal copying.

Maintain destination-specific records

For every priority destination, retain the submitted feed URL, listing address, controlling account, and relevant administrative procedure. Apple’s distribution documentation distinguishes direct feed following from catalog discovery. Use that distinction to avoid treating a working feed as proof that every destination has accepted the show.

Make corrections observable

Change the authoritative record first, then inspect the affected feed and destination displays. Record what you observed and when. Do not repeatedly publish an unchanged episode because one listing has not refreshed. A hosting move or rebrand should trigger a deliberate review of the distribution map and its ownership details.
