Podcast Changes at Apple⇢
New extensions to Apple’s podcast feed specification will allow podcasts to define individual seasons and explain whether an episode is a teaser, a full episode, or bonus content. These extensions will be read by the Podcast app and used to present a podcast in a richer way than the current, more linear, approach. (Since podcast feeds are just text, other podcast apps will be free to follow Apple’s lead and also alter how they display podcasts based on these tags.)

My Mobile Podcasting Setup
EDITOR’S NOTE: This post is now outdated. Visit my gear page for a more current setup.
While it’s a little out of date now, I wrote about my podcasting gear back in 2015. I use this set up every time I sit down at my desk to record a show.
However, Relay FM does an increasing number of shows on the road, at conferences and other events. To record these podcasts, I’ve put together an arsenal of equipment.
