Possibly related, Apple is currently migrating a bunch of old podcasts that use its old Site Manager dashboard to the new and shinier Podcasts Publisher dashboard.
#Pocket casts app for mac update
I assume that the new version of Apple Podcasts, which is reliant on an Apple crawler to update podcast RSS feeds, has forced Apple to drastically improve the speed and reliability of that crawler. People used to complain to me all the time that the latest episode of my podcast that I was promoting wasn’t appearing in Apple Podcasts or in Apple’s web preview of the podcast my standard reply was “Try subscribing to the podcast.” It always worked. The problem with this crawler is that it was very, very slow, at least for my podcasts.
It’s not what the app displayed when you were subscribed to a feed, but it was what it used as a preview when you weren’t subscribed. Separately, Apple’s had a “crawler” for years that goes out and grabs the RSS content of podcasts in its database to use in updating web pages and previews of podcasts. So the app phones home once to Apple rather than to every different server of every subscribed feed.
I do have a theory about what’s happening, though. Apple is aware of it and presumably is working on a fix. Unfortunately, right now my only answer is to say, “It’s displaying properly in every other podcast app around, so if you’ve ever thought of using Overcast or Castro or Pocket Casts or any other alternative podcast app, now might be a good time to try.” I’m getting a lot of tweets and emails saying the same thing: the latest episode of (some podcast I’m involved with) hasn’t shown up in Apple Podcasts. Why isn’t Apple Podcasts showing you the latest podcasts?ĪTP Episode 429 is out… everywhere but in Apple Podcasts.
