## Resource

Send James and Sam a message or voicemail Apple Podcasts video moves from theory to real-world distribution, and we pressure-test what HLS streaming changes for pricing, analytics, approvals, and the open RSS ecosystem. We also weigh platform convenience against creator freedom, from Spotify’s video lock-in warnings to a vision for open music distribution and premium RSS. • Buzzsprout’s Apple Podcasts video rollout and why HLS matters for typical podcasters. We interview Alban Brooke. • Captivate and Podigee also launched this week. We take a look at their data. • Plus, Spotify video distribution risks including permanent RSS replacement and hosting-provider lock-in, according to at least one host's description • London Podcast Show highlights with networking stages speakers and parties - we interview Jason Carter • Fountain’s music on RSS using the medium tag publisher feeds value-for-value licensing and live item workflows - we speak with Oscar Merry.
