We're getting closer and closer to holiday season and some might be surprised to hear it effects podcasting. Apple recently released it's holiday schedule, so those of you looking to start a new show, make a change, etc. please take note of the days they'll be off and when things will be slower in general. Remember, poor planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on theirs. Everyone deserves a break for the holidays. On the other side of things, Google Podcasts has added a share button to their app. Blubrry is moving some RSS feeds - if you're effected you received an email about it, so no worries for anyone. We've also been working hard on our IAB statistics certification, among other things happening here at Blubrry. Welcome to Your Podcast, THE official Blubrry podcast!

Support: Spotify: Important stuff for you to be able to have your show in Spotify. Feed title Apple Category Author Please give us as much info as you can when you contact support. It saves a lot of back and forth. We have noticed the level of rudeness when asking for help is on the increase. Just remember, we didn’t do anything to your podcast. This stuff can be confusing and we are happy to help, but being rude is, well just rude, and as much as we try, we are human. If someone is rude to us in support, it’s really hard not to be rude back. Bottom Line: There are humans behind all this online stuff. Cut us some slack!
