    Podcast Index
  • Podcast Index has now indexed over 3m podcasts.
    • This backs up a number of conversations last week for an upcoming article. Apple Podcasts is increasingly being ignored by some podcasters, particularly outside the US, as a place to add their show. (Even when it works…)
  • The Podcast Index social website now hosts a regular video chat every weekend.
  • Your podcast app might be calling itself AppleCoreMedia; and your podcast host might be claiming that’s a play from Apple Podcasts. Our editor posts a list of apps that use AppleCoreMedia under certain circumstances.
  • Want to make sure your podcast app never calls itself AppleCoreMedia (and thus your app doesn’t get credit for plays?) Here’s some code to do just that from John Spurlock.
  • John Spurlock has also launched a new, simple, podcast called Reflections. It reads back your podcast app’s user-agent, the time, and your IP address. It may be useful to help you discover which apps call themselves what.

Tips and tricks, and our Podcast News section, return tomorrow.
