PodClock - when was this episode downloaded? 03.12.2025

When was this episode downloaded? The audio will give you the time and day of the audio download. On a technical level, this episode does not change GUID nor audio filename, and you should therefore only see it once in your feed. The pubDate is updated every time the RSS is edited. This is Season 2, Episode 1 of this serial podcast.

Test 18: CHAPTERS: A podcast with every type of chapters 06.09.2025

This has ID3 chapters, JSON chapters, Podlove chapters, and kludge-in-description chapters. Which is your podcast app using? Look at the SECOND chapter (at 55 seconds) - if it reads "Interviews: Podcast Day Asia" then it's the ID3 tag, otherwise it'll tell you which versionthis podcast app has defaulted to. Chapters: 00:00 Podcast Evolution in Asia: Hosts, Apps, and Innovation 00:55 Chapter info i...

Test 17: CHAPTERS: A podcast with (only) 'kludge in description' chapters 06.09.2025

This audio only has 'kludge in description' chapters, which are used by Spotify and YouTube. They're there, just below. Chapters: 00:00 Podcast Evolution in Asia: Hosts, Apps, and Innovation 00:55 Interviews: Podcast Day Asia 23:45 Price increases for hosting 37:58 The Podcast Study 39:32 Acast's WMN acquisition completes 40:34 Acast ads academy 42:49 New data from Livewire 45:53 Live shows 50:07...

Test 16: CHAPTERS: A podcast with (only) ID3 chapters 06.09.2025

This audio has ID3 chapters in it, but not any podlove or podcast namespace chapters. If you see chapters here but not in tests 14 or 15, that means this podcast app only deals with ID3 chapters.

Test 15: CHAPTERS: A podcast with (only) podlove chapters 06.09.2025

This audio has no ID3 chapters in it. It does have Podlove chapters in it though (the psc:chapter tags in the RSS feed). If this show has chapters for this episode, then your podcast app understands the Podlove chapter tag. This format doesn't have links or images.

Test 14: CHAPTERS: A podcast with (only) podcast:chapters 06.09.2025

This audio has no ID3 chapters in it. However, it has a podcast:chapters file linked to it. If chapters appear for this episode, then the podcast app understands the podcast chapters tag. The chapters JSON includes images and links, by the way.

Test 2: Opus audio 03.05.2021

This is a piece of Opus Audio, at 32kbps. It is a specific codec for high quality speech at low bitrates, and is normally supported on Android devices.

Test 3: AAC-HE audio 03.05.2021

This is a piece of AAC Audio, at 32kbps (stereo). AAC-HE audio, which almost everything should decode, is supported by almost everything - at least, the standard AAC decoder is. The decoder normally comes for free with any video decoding. This low-bitrate version sounds a bit splashy with the audio; but 64kbps sounds pretty good.

Test 4: An HTML description, with NO itunes:summary 03.05.2021

(If you don't see Test 2, your device does not support Opus audio). (If you don't see Test 3, your device does not support AAC audio). This has no itunes:summary in it, These are all paragraphs. The word bold is in bold. The word italic is in italic. The words bold and italic are in bold and italic This is underlined . This is a UL-LI list item This is another item This is a link to Podnews This i...

Test 5: A very long (text) description 03.05.2021

001 This is supposed to be one hundred characters long and I hope I can make it all the way to 100. 002 Each line here is supposed to be 100 characters long (there's a line return though) and so..... 003 There are also supposed to be 100 lines here. 100x100 = 10,000 characters. Will we make it????? 004 This is supposed to be one hundred characters long and I hope I can make it all the way to 100....

Test 6: An itunes:image for an episode, but not embedded 03.05.2021

This has an itunes:image associated with it, of some red scissors. However, the audio does not have the image embedded in it.

Test 7: An embedded image in the audio, but no itunes:image 03.05.2021

The enclosed audio, which is in AAC format, has an embedded image in it of some scissors. There is no itunes:image referencing it though.

Test 8: A normal description, and a content:encoded too 03.05.2021

This is a normal description, with some bold and italic HTML, in a CDATA wrapper - it has no itunes:summary, and we see this appearing in the episode list in Apple Podcasts

Test 9: It's the 12th of the month 03.05.2021

This episode's audio and GUID remain the same, but the title and this description are updated every day. This was last updated on 12th July. This should theoretically update every time: but hopefully we shouldn't see more than one of these.

Test 10: This is the normal title 03.05.2021

This is the normal description - there is no content:encoded here

Test 11: This is a trailer 03.05.2021

This is the trailer, and is marked as such

Test 13: This is a test podcast with a (v2) location tag about a water reservoir 03.05.2021

This uses the podcast:location tag to suggest that it is about this place in Bardon, Queensland, Australia: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/283389652
