- Jun 12: Apple Podcasts, which is not involved in AMP, defines a play in Apple Podcasts Connect as "the number of plays on unique devices where the play duration is greater than 0 seconds" - and isn't limited to one per user. In practice, a "play" appears to measure every touch of the play button (even, one suspects, after pauses for turn-by-turn instructions while driving). As one example, in May, the Podnews Weekly Review podcast saw 2,093 downloads to Apple Podcasts, but 3,200 "plays".

Chapters are also available for ease of navigation."
