Apple this evening sent an email to podcasters outlining some reminders about changes to the Apple Podcasts platform, as well as an announcement that makes podcast submission easier for hosting partners…
First and foremost, Apple reminded podcasters that Podcast Analytics is currently in beta and allows creators to see more detailed information about listener patterns and show performance over time. Apple released Podcast Analytics in beta last month.
Apple also outlines some of the specification changes that the Podcasts platform offers in iOS 11, which were previously announced:
- Enabling providers to deliver clear, concise titles
- Improving how episodes are ordered and recommended within a season
- Adding the ability for new subscribers to receive the full current season in their Library
- Adding quick play to allow users to pick up listening where they left off
