Another question: assume the second case is the correct one, i.e. that the RSS file applies at the podcast level, rather than the episode level, i.e. there’s only one RSS file for the podcast regardless of number of episodes.
Suppose I upload a new episode every week. It seems, therefore, that at the same time I would need to upload an updated RSS file, and that that new RSS file would overlay/replace the previous one? The first time, the RSS file would have a reference only to episode 1. The next time, it would refer to episodes 1 and 2, etc. Thanks.
