> Podcast feeds need to include _every episode_ with full metadata
In my experience, most publishers just don't include the full series of historic episodes, but only the last 10/20/100/...
This makes it even worse because now the client is responsible for syncing (an episode might have been deleted forever or just fallen out of the top-N list by recency).
In your experience, do you often see full historic RSSs?
- bastawhiz 8y agoWe always serve full historic RSS. If we didn't, there would be no way for most listeners to consume the old audio. When you use a third party service like mine, you either need to use the website that I provide for that back catalog (a bad experience for the listener) or jump through hoops to maintain a separate copy of each episode on your own website so it's still available if the feed is truncated. In neither world is that a decent experience for the content producer or the listener.
