Thanks for adding updateFrequency to the Podnews RSS feed! I hope it proves a nice progressive enhancement that doesn’t require all hosts to get on board before apps make it available to listeners.

Got to get you fit and ready for Las Vegas James, 7am drinks followed by 8am at the Casino! 🤣 Thanks for that catch, it's updated now. And Sam gimme gimme some of that PodFans alpha 🤲

My first Sats boost ever! Not bad for a late bloomer, hence me being The Late Bloomer Actor. Have recently moved to using Fountain as my podcast player as a result of your recommendation; and Buzzcast aka your sponsor Buzzsprout (also the host for my podcast) due to their concerns over Spotify's attempts to corner (own) the podcast world. Thanks guys, I get great value from listening to you for pointers on my own podcast. Love ya work. Bonus points if you can figure out the 1973 sats!
